Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council is currently developing a
comprehensive Community Adolescence Service with support from the
DfE.
This new service will have at its core a commitment to evidence
based progressive theory and practice.
As part of this development the Council is seeking a partner from
the Independent Sector to provide a dedicated residential care
home. For the chosen provider of the residential care home, this
represents an exciting opportunity to contribute to a new way of
working with a high DfE profile.
A key element of this scheme will be that the provider’s
staff team, involved in this project, will receive full training in
social Pedagogy and Restorative practice funded by the
purchaser.
The scheme will also be externally evaluated for evidence of impact
and the results will be of national standing.
The procurement of this residential home will be based on a block
contract and represents a guaranteed source of annual income for
the successful provider.
