## Summary

The Cornwall Council is currently at the award stage for a public procurement contract titled "Understanding Child Neglect - Training for staff working in Children's Early Help, Psychology and Social Care Service." This initiative falls under the health and social work services category and aims to enhance the capabilities of practitioners in responding to child neglect. The contract is valued at £72,000 and has been awarded to Family Action. The contract period runs from 12th September 2016 until 11th September 2019. The procurement method employed for this project was an open procedure, and all interactions related to the tender were conducted through the South West Portal.

This contract presents significant opportunities for organisations specialising in training and development services within the social care sector, particularly those who possess experience in child welfare and neglect issues. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations would demonstrate suitable capabilities to compete for similar contracts, focusing on developing practitioners' skills in multi-agency approaches and assessment strategies. The skills and knowledge shared through this tender are crucial for improving service delivery and ultimately contributing to the wellbeing of children and families in need.

## Notice

The Children's Early Help Psychology and Social Care Service (CEHPSCS) uses a multi-agency approach and seeks to ensure that the practitioners working within those services are able to recognise and act on signs of neglect that affect children, young people and whole families. The support offered to those families is intended to improve the wellbeing, health, development and safety of the children and young people, enabling them to remain within their own family. Earlier this year Cornwall's Neglect Strategy 2016-19 was published. This document sets out our commitment to a multi-agency approach to preventing and responding to parental neglect. We are now looking to commission some highly experiential learning and development opportunities with a strong skills focus to support practitioners in gaining a deeper understanding of the lived experience of children and young people who experience neglect and the long term impact of this experience. The course will also support frontline staff to develop their skills in assessing parental capacity to change; recognising that sustaining change is particularly challenging for many parents. Staff will use tools such as the Salford Graded Profile to assess, review and evaluate change. The Council uses a web-based system on the South West Portal found at www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk (DueNorth) to manage quote and tender processes.
