Description

North Northamptonshire Council (NNC) was identified as one of the 75 Local Authorities designated as a 'Family Hub Development' authority. Consequently, the council receives funding for service transformation and enhancement of access to the Family Hub and Start for Life offer.

The Government published the Family Hub Framework, which sets out expectations for service delivery under three delivery areas of access, connection, and relationships, to which multiple key success criteria are aligned.

Emphasis on services for families with children aged 0-19 (and up to 25 for special educational needs and disability, SEND) requires local authorities to evolve services from the children's centre offer focussed on babies, young children, and their families to deliver an integrated service that supports the whole family.

The vision for Family Hubs is to build community resilience and self-help approaches that will empower children and families to access information and peer support to enable them to develop and grow. The programme's objective is to join up and enhance services delivered in local authority areas, ensuring all parents and carers can access the support they need when they need it.

NNC invites quotations for a provider to:

1. Collaboratively develop a perinatal mental health and parent-infant relationships strategy, which will drive initiatives to enhance parent-infant relationships and promote greater awareness of preventing and addressing low to moderate perinatal mental health issues.

2. Systematically map services and pathways for infant-feeding support, conduct a gap analysis, and formulate an action plan to meet identified needs. This will include adequate and appropriate support for families experiencing breastfeeding grief and children born with tongue tie.
