The providers will work closely with a variety of council officers and health partners in order to deliver the service, this can include (for example), Bright Start, special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) team, safeguarding, finance and the Family Information Service (FIS). Multi-disciplinary working is essential for delivering outcomes for children and their families.
