Emotional Health and Wellbeing Service Derbyshire

Description

Derbyshire County Council is inviting applications from organisations who wish to provide the Emotional Health and Wellbeing Service for Looked after Children, Adopted and Care Leavers in Derbyshire. The service is for those who are/were in the care of Derbyshire County Council or are the responsibility of the Derbyshire Adoption Service. The purpose of the service is to provide specific emotional health and wellbeing services for the children and young people who comprise the above groups and consultation, training and support for those who care for them. It is acknowledged that care leavers are in transition to adult services and it is not expected that the service will generally continue to work with them post-18 – the main focus will have been while they were in care – but it will provide them with transitional help and the Leaving Care Support Service with access to advice, consultation and training.

We have high aspirations for the health care of our young people and are seeking a high quality service that can help to close the gap between the emotional health and well-being of Derbyshire children in care, adopted and care leavers and their peers in the community.
