Domestic Abuse Early Help Support

Description

Birmingham Children's Trust has identified a requirement for Early Help and Support for families affected by domestic abuse or parental conflict within the City. We require a domestic abuse specialist to be based in each of the 10 Family Hubs across Birmingham. They will be the point of contact for agencies in the District providing advice and support to families impacted by domestic abuse or parental conflict. This may involve drop-in sessions, planned group activities, one-to-one sessions or referrals to specialist services for longer term support. They will work alongside, and in partnership with, the relevant Early Help (voluntary sector) agency and Family Hubs staff in each District to be a point of contact, receive support requests and provide information and feedback to partner agencies who contact the District domestic abuse specialist. This includes the commissioned service providing any information known from previous involvement with the family, current risk assessments, safety planning and referrals to specialist services for ongoing work. The commissioned service will also need to provide training and share pathways of support to the service to assist with their knowledge and skills to respond effectively to domestic abuse also. The Trust may provide training on parental conflict alongside a toolkit for direct work. These requirements, and timescales, are subject to change during the planned procurement period.
