Description
The overarching intention is that services for children and young people in Northamptonshire must be high quality, meet financial objectives and be sustainable. Creating an independent and professionally led organisation is considered the best way to realise this ambition.
DfE requests quotes from providers to project manage the set up of the Northamptonshire Children's Social Care Trust and provide financial due diligence to inform contractual arrangements. A memorandum is being produced by the Council, the Department and the Department's children's services commissioner in Northamptonshire. A comprehensive briefing and handover will be conducted once the contract has been awarded.
The Trust is to be operational as soon as is reasonably possible. Our current working assumption is that the Trust will be operational no later than 1 July 2020.
