  • Lot 2 · #2
    Enhanced Foster Care Services
    active
    Published valueNot published
    This lot sets out the requirements for the delivery of fostering services to be provided by Independent Fostering Agencies (IFA’s) for children and young people aged 0-18 years with complex needs who require support moving from residential care to living with a foster family (Step Forward arrangement); and/ or require a bespoke fostering arrangement to best support their complex needs, which could include a requirement for specialist therapeutic intervention whilst living with a foster family.
