Description

Provision of support to parents of children with suspected or diagnosed ADHD is a county-wide
need which has previously been supported through a combination of voluntary sector provision and offer of
general family support from Leicestershire County Council Early Help Services. In recent years the demand for
more specialist support for parents who may be managing more challenging behaviours has continued to
increase. This is evidence through referral rates to First Response Children's Duty and data collected through
early help multi-agency arrangements.
Feedback from parents tells us that a specialist support service is valued by them, from providers who have
specific understanding of ADHD and impact on behaviour, parenting, and family life. In addition, many parents
themselves may have ADHD and therefore parents often find that general family support may not meet their
individual needs fully.
This contract provides an opportunity to work with families alongside the Council and other services, to ensure
their needs are met in terms of managing child / young person behaviour so that families in Leicestershire have
the opportunity to thrive and build resilience, potentially avoiding the need for more intensive services in the
future.
