## Summary

The Bath and North East Somerset Council is seeking to procure an Early Help Family Support & Play Service aimed at providing trauma-informed support and therapeutic activities for vulnerable children and their families. This tender falls under the health and social work services category, with a total contract value of £2,006,430.

## Notice

The targeted Early Help Family Support and Play Service will provide trauma-informed specialist family support and therapeutic child-led play activities for vulnerable children and their parents and carers. The Family Support and Play Service (FSPS) will deliver therapeutic approaches to support vulnerable children and young people to increase their self-esteem, relationships, resilience and social skills whilst also supporting their parents/carers to improve their emotional resilience and ability to support their children. The Service will provide therapeutic approaches to deliver whole family support and will work closely with schools to identify and support children, young people and their parent/carers who require targeted early help to prevent their needs escalating. The FSPS will form part of the targeted family support service model for Bath and North East Somerset which sits in between universal services and children's statutory social and health care services.
