## Description
Strengthening Families Together: Families First Programme 
Disability Support
Divided into two Lots
A UK3 (ocds-h6vhtk-05996f) has been published for this but the lots were divided into specific services 
Background/Context
Families First is designed to improve outcomes for children, young people and families. It places an emphasis on early intervention, prevention, and providing support for whole families, rather than individuals. The programme promotes greater multi-agency working to ensure families receive joined-up support when they need it. The intention of the programme is to provide early support for families with the aim of preventing problems escalating. Families First Programme Guidance April 2017. 
Families’ First principles 
Services provided through the programme should take account of the following guiding principles: 
• Family-focussed – services should take a whole family approach to improving outcomes. 
• Bespoke – services should be tailored to individual family circumstances. 
• Empowering – services should seek to empower families to take control of their lives, to give them an increased sense of ownership and investment in their outcomes. 
• Integrated - services should be effectively coordinated and planned to ensure a seamless progression for families between different interventions and programmes. 
• Intensive – a vigorous approach and relentless focus must be maintained which can adapt to families’ changing circumstances. 
• Local – services should address the needs of local communities and, where possible, seek opportunities to link in with other local programmes, including Flying Start and Supporting People 
• Pro-active – seeking early identification of need and securing appropriate interventions in a timely way.
• Sustainable – services should always seek to provide long-term sustainable solutions. They should seek to address the root causes of problems and not 5 just the symptoms to enable families to continue to progress after intervention has ceased.
Wrexham County Borough Council has undertaken Preliminary Market Engagement work to support us to make informed decisions by understanding the demand, capacity, and capability for delivering services. This has used alongside nationally available data to inform and support us when shaping the commissioning strategy and model.

2.	Services should seek to empower children, young people and families to take control of their lives, to give them an increased sense of ownership and investment in their outcomes. They should be effectively coordinated and planned to...
