## Notice

East Sussex County Council (ESCC) and the Changing Futures Programme Sussex are jointly procuring two Specialist Women's Workers (SWW). Following the Domestic Abuse Act 2021, councils across England received "new burdens" funding to meet the new duty on councils to ensure access to and provide support for victims and survivors of domestic abuse and their children in safe accommodation. The Pan Sussex Strategy for Domestic Abuse Accommodation and Support 2021-2024 identified that a key strategic priority was to enhance support provision for survivors with multiple and compound needs, and "new burdens" funding has been committed to increase such provision. Changing Futures is a national 4-year, PS77 million programme aiming to improve outcomes for adults experiencing multiple and compound needs - including combinations of homelessness, substance misuse, mental health issues, domestic abuse and contact with the criminal justice system. Changing Futures is testing new ways of bringing together public and community sector partners to help people change their lives for the better. Sussex was awarded a Changing Futures grant of PS4.45M in July 2021 to improve the way that local systems and services work for adults experiencing multiple and compound needs. The Service Provider will provide two SWWs who will provide relationship-based, trauma-informed, flexible and holistic support for women experiencing domestic abuse and multiple compound needs (MCN) including case coordination bespoke to each individual's needs.
