Notice Description

The Family Innovation Fund enables ECC to work with its partners in the voluntary and community sector to deliver good outcomes as early as possible.

This Grant is concerned with working with children and young people, parents/carers and families who will benefit from receiving support by way of Brief Solution Focussed Support (BSFS) such as coaching, mediation, conflict, through 1:1, group and family/parent/couples work. This will usually take place in face to face however, it may also take place using on-line platforms if that is deemed appropriate, for example during holiday periods or weekends/evenings.
