Description

Bradford Children and Families Trust's Family Time Team is committed to ensuring that children in care, or are subject to care proceedings, have consistent and high-quality family time with family members and significant people in their lives, in a family-friendly venue.
Therefore, it is fundamental that the sessions are facilitated by an appropriately qualified, experienced, and supportive family time contact supervisor who has a caring manner and actively listens to the voices of the child or young person and their family, ensuring that the sessions are enjoyable and foster positive lifelong memories.
Bradford Children and Family Trust would like to invite potential providers to attend a market engagement event on 6th November 2024 to help inform the development of the specification and commissioning approach to ensure that the best service is achieved within the funding envelope.
Before the market engagement event, the Trust would like potential providers to complete this brief survey. The purpose of this brief survey is to better understand the interests and perspectives of current and potential providers. Responses will help the Trust determine what the service should look like and how it can be delivered most effectively and efficiently. Please complete the survey and submit your expression of interest to attend the market engagement event by 5 pm on 4th November 2024.
Please see the meeting details below:
Date/Time: Wednesday 6th November 11.30 -13.00
