Description

Due to the approaching expiry of an existing contract the London Borough of Barking & Dagenham is advertising to seek tenders from suitably experienced and qualified organisations for the delivery of a Young Carers Support Service.

The contract is expected to run for a period of two (2) years commencing on 1st April 2022 and may be extended for a further one (1) year subject to funding and performance (at the sole discretion of the Council).

Our vision in the re-tender of this service is to work in partnership with an appropriately experienced contractor to sustain, and develop further, a quality support service for Young Carers in Barking and Dagenham.

The service will be compliant with the Children and Families Act 2014 and the Care Act 2014. The core areas of this service will be:

- to work in collaboration with various agencies and the Local Authority to identify young carers;
- being the first port of call for young carers' support;
- to ensure that young carers receive a formal assessment where requested/ required;
- provide support and advice to young carers;
- to provide activities for young carers to allow them to share their experiences with other young carers and also provide time away from their caring responsibilities;
- to deliver a tailored service to the young carer in accordance with their assessment, and that keeps them engaged in, and attending, education, employment and training;
- to provide activities that are in consultation with the young carers; and
- to provide a flexible service that can meet the needs of young carers at the weekends, and evenings.
