Birmingham Children's Safeguarding Children Partnership requires a provider for the provision of the Evaluation of the Neglect Family Foundations project as detailed below under requirements / specifications. The Provider is expected to evaluate the overall implementation of GCP2 across the two-Family Foundation areas. The evaluation will consider the impact of: - * The use of the tool by practitioners - considering areas such as whether it is providing better quality and more consistent approach to the assessment of neglect both within and across agencies. * The learning from the pilots and how we can apply this in multi-agency locality setting (considering any barriers, gaps in skills or knowledge and good practice). * The impact of GCP2 training on practitioners' intervention with families at risk of neglect. * The impact of the GCP2 training on practitioners' understanding, knowledge, skills, and confidence in responding to neglect. * The use of GCP2 with families (including children), their views of the tool and how they have found the assessment process.
