"description": "Notice of the Council's intent to issue a Tender for the delivery of Kinship Care Safeguarding and Support Service which meets the needs of individual children / young people and their Kinship carers. The Service to be delivered is for the provision of the Kinship Care Safeguarding and Support Service to children and young people, in kinship care families, under s25 of the Children (Scotland) Act 1995. The service can, at the discretion of the locality Service Manager who has the overview of Kinship care services, be extended to children or young people in other kinship arrangements, for example a section 11 Kinship Care Order. The delivery of the Service will assist the Council in meeting its statutory duty to safeguard, support and promote the welfare and wellbeing of children and young people living in kinship care families. It will focus primarily on children and young people supported in kinship arrangements which have been assessed by SWS as stable (typically for two years, though this timescale may be less depending on individual circumstances of the child or young person), and who are resident in the city or within a twenty-mile radius of the Glasgow City boundary. Referrals to this Service may also include, by exception and by agreement between all parties, children and young people in stable kinship care arrangements that are outwith this geographical radius. In terms of the scope of this tender, Kinship care arrangements in scope include: - Looked after children or young people who have been formally placed with Kinship carers by the local authority under Section 25 (s25) of the Children (Scotland) Act 1995. - Children or young people who are subject to an order under Section 11 (s11) of the Children (Scotland) Act 1995. - Children or young people who may be deemed 'eligible' under the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014 and living with a Kinship carer and eligible under either of the sections above. - Referrals will be made for children and young people aged from birth until their 19th birthday",
