The aim of the service is to target and support Children & Young People (CYPs) to offer interventions to prevent them from getting into the criminal justice pathway. Or for those already in the pathway, to offer interventions to prevent reoccurrence of their engagement with the criminal justice system, and live meaningful and productive lives within their chosen community. It is recognized that adverse life events in the early years of a child's life increases the risk of the development of mental health problems and behavioural problems. Such untreated mental ill-health in CYPs can in turn reduce educational and work prospects and increase the risk of reoffending. Early intervention is viewed as critical in preventing at risk CYPs from becoming excluded from schools and other educational forums. This projects across the EoE will seek to address the emotional, social, and mental health problems that may result from disruptive, defiant, and/or delinquent behaviour. Again, with the goal of preventing CYPs from entering/engaging with the wider criminal justice pathway. As such the CYP projects will: * Offer early intervention and prevention that targets those with emotional issues, at risk of offending/challenging behaviour across schools and justice settings. * Joint work working with health, social care, schools and youth justice to provide holistic support to CYP (to include embedding services in schools and youth offending services where appropriate). * Work with system partners * Work with system partners to provide support for CYPs with emerging emotional wellbeing or behavioural issues and/or offending behaviour that may lead to engagement with the criminal justice pathway or exclusion from school. * Training for those in contact with CYPs to improve skills to: 1. Recognise emerging emotional wellbeing/behavioural issues, 2. Respond to issues in a way that recognises the multi-faceted emotional needs of CYPs. Support by an understanding of support available across schools and YOT teams. * Adopt methods for hard-to-engage CYPs, using outreach approaches to meet with the CYP in their community. This is a new service that will be delivered by a new Provider. The service will commence from the contract start date of 1st December 2024 until 30th November 2026, Total contract value is PS245,640 over 2 years contract period (PS122,820 per annum) ### Procurement Information Under the PSR regulations and Based on the assessment and the evidence collected, NHSE confirm that a contract can be awarded under the most suitable provider process.
