- Department for Education
Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-06c6c9
Description
The contract delivers the design and development of a comprehensive toolkit and subject matter expert support to upskill health and children's social care professionals in trauma-informed approaches, enabling the effective implementation of a co-located model for children in care, particularly those at risk of or subject to deprivation of liberty. The scope includes the development of a competency framework, training options, toolkit resources, training delivery, and supervision structures to support evidence-informed, trauma-focused practice. The service strengthens the Home Again pilots by embedding trauma-focused expertise within children's services, improving multi-agency and clinically informed working, enhancing support for children in care, and enabling earlier, better coordinated interventions to reduce escalation to crisis and the use of deprivation of liberty orders, while meeting NHS quality assurance and clinical standards.
