Lot Information

Lot 1

West Lothian Council is seeking to appoint a fully qualified and experienced external service provider to achieve the vision of an integrated and flexible service which would meet the need for building resilient children and young people in the upper primary age range across all 67 primary school settings in the authority. The provider would also be in a position to offer wider therapeutic experiences for children as and when the profile of need is more suited to this approach. The age range for this part of the service will be flexible and negotiated with the local authority. It is envisaged that access to the service should be easy for schools and should feel seamless for children and young people and their families as part of the ongoing assessment and intervention planning process. A focus on building resilience, especially in relation to the transition to secondary school will be a key element of the work. It is expected that the provider will work closely with colleagues in secondary schools to support transition specifically where this would be in the best interests of the child. The ability to support young people over summer holiday periods will be a key element of the contract. It is also expected that the provider will work closely with the Educational Psychology Service to maintain a quality evaluation framework as a key element of the contract. This will enable West Lothian Council to gather and report on council wide evaluation information.
