Description
The London Borough of Hackney wishes to procure a suitably qualified provider to establish and maintain an Empowering Parents Empowering Communities (EPEC) Hackney service.
The service will recruit and provide accredited training to a network of Parent Group Leaders (volunteers) who will deliver 8 - week EPEC parenting programmes to families with children aged 2 yrs and under.
EPEC is innovative. It uses a 'parent to parent' approach to transform the scale and reach of parenting support available to families and communities living in socially disadvantaged neighbourhoods; and strengthens the parent-child relationship through positive communication, parental sensitivity, safe care, child-led play, alongside behaviour management tools grounded in social learning theory. It has been proven to reduce barriers associated with stigma for those parents/carers least likely to use conventional parenting services.
The Hackney service will work collaboratively with maternity, health visiting services, the CVS, children centres and emerging family hubs to be part of a whole system approach to supporting families with the transition to parenthood.
The successful bidder will:
establish a Hackney EPEC service
manage the recruitment and coordination of accredited training for local parent group leaders
organise the programme of Hackney EPEC parenting courses
conduct parent outreach and engagement
provide supervision and quality assurance
network and liaise with multi agency colleagues and services
report EPEC activity and impact to multi agency partners
South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust hold the intellectual property rights to EPEC and will support the organisation awarded the contract to successfully establish the local EPEC service within Hackney by:
delivering the accredited EPEC training to Parent Peer Group Leaders and materials
providing supervision - pre group, prep arrangements?
supporting training delivery to parents - observation for one hour, sessions 1, 3, 5 and 8, supervision?, and undertaking phone check-ins
providing opportunities to reflect and learn on own group leader skills, and any concerns about specific parents
embedding safeguarding within the Parent Peer Group Leader training, local training, and group agreement
It is anticipated that this service will cost £119,000 (Yr. 1 £82,897.50 Yr. 2 £36,102.50).
Estimated contract dates - Start date: 27th November 2025 End date: March 2025. Note: the contract will include a 6 month extension to September 2025 (subject to funding) bringing the cost to a maximum of £163,000
