Family Group Conferences increase the likelihood of developing child and family centred solutions that enable the child to remain safely with parents or extended family members. The specification attached to this tender, details the service aims, service description and details the principles, performance management, service delivery and annual service plans for this service. The contract will commence from 1st August 2021 and will run for a period of 2 years, with the possibility of a further 12-month extension period.
