Description

The service will be a provision for a countywide sexual abuse counselling and support service across Warwickshire.

The service will provide support, information and advice through;
o A library of books and information
o A website
o Newsletter/e-newsletter
o Individual Counselling
o Support Groups
o Ongoing training and volunteering and opportunities for individuals

Signposting to other support services available if appropriate

The service will be available to both males and females who need help to recover from the effects of rape or sexual abuse. Individuals can self-refer or can be referred by primary, secondary mental health services, voluntary organisations, family, friends etc.

The Service will be available countywide for at least 50 weeks per year. The opening times and days will be arranged to avoid duplication and to maximise the 'choice' option for service users across 7days. Analysis of current service shows usage and access levels of approximately 260 per year, with individuals requiring specialist support for up to 6 months (small number longer). This number is growing so the provider would be expected to triage and prioritise referrals.

The service will be required to be registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)

The contract value is ?25,000 per annum and this contributes to the core costs of service delivery - please note this is not the full service cost. The successful provider would be expected to source other funding streams to fund the remaining service cost.
