FOI Request 15102025-1 –Frameworks/Supplier Lists for Supervision of Families in Children’s Services
Request
Please could you provide details of any current frameworks, approved provider lists, or contractual arrangements that your Local Authority has in place relating to the supervision of families within Children’s Services. Specifically, I am interested in services that involve:
- Supervised contact between children and family members
- Family support or intervention services delivered in the home or community
- Any specialist supervision services commissioned as part of safeguarding or child protection plans
For each relevant framework or supplier list, I would be grateful if you could include:
- The name and scope of the framework or arrangement
- The start and end dates of the current agreement
- The names of any providers currently approved or contracted under the framework
- The process by which new providers can apply to join or be considered
- The contact details for the team or individual responsible for commissioning these services
Response
I can confirm the Office of the Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner (OPFCC) does not hold the information requested.
The OPFCC does have an Early Intervention team offer early support for children, young people and their families and aim to prevent the need for longer term and more costly and complex intervention. They do not however have any frameworks or commissioned services for this cohort of children. Details of their work can be found on our website at:
https://northantspfcc.org.uk/our-work/the-early-intervention-family-support-service/
The two councils that cover Northamptonshire may hold the information you are requesting. They can be contacted through the following link:
