Description
Oxfordshire County Council Public Health are commissioning a service that delivers an age-appropriate, Protective Behaviours programme within secondary schools (or colleges where appropriate) during the school day to Key Stage 3 pupils, at no charge to the schools.
Tenders are invited from suitably qualified organisations to provide the service described in the specification.
The service will be a key component in the development of a whole-school protective behaviours approach to keeping children safe and well in schools in Oxfordshire. The service provider will need to engage schools and be flexible in the delivery to fit in with busy timetables. It will build upon The Safer Together Project, a Council Protective Behaviours programme for years 3 and 4 which began in summer 2018. A key part of the service will be classroom-based group work with children.
The service will contribute to some of the Public Health outcomes for under-18s' well-being and safety by helping to develop skills in children in understanding risk and becoming resilient. There are important partners for the service to work with both within the school - e.g. School Health Nurses - and external partners such as Aquarius Substance Misuse service, CAMHS, and third sector organisations that work with children, to achieve a countywide common approach that uses the ethos of Protective Behaviours.
The contract can be delivered by single organisations or consortium/partnerships, and the successful provider will need to maintain strong working relationships and work with other organisations to deliver an effective, timely service.
Contract term: 3 years and 3 months plus the option to extend up to a further 2 years.
Estimated start/end date: 23rd April 2019 to 31st July 2022.
