- Lot 1 · #1Individual lot title not publishedactivePublished valueNot publishedThe Council is seeking to appoint an external Service Provider that is experienced and appropriately qualified to deliver a therapeutic intervention service for children and young people aged 5-14. The Service Provider will provide 1:1 therapeutic interventions for children and young people, as well as supporting the families and adults around those children to better meet their emotional needs. The model of service delivery will sit within a therapeutic and trauma informed framework that draws upon resilience and strength-based methodologies to provide children and young people with an opportunity to explore and process their difficulties within the context of a trusting and supportive relationship and to find their own ways of addressing the issues. Service delivery to primary aged children will incorporate play or art-based methods and may include supporting parents/carers to take into account the age and developmental stage of the child.
