Young Carers and Hidden Harm Service

A Young Carers Service and a Hidden Harm Service were commissioned as separate contracts that expire in March 2019. The proposal is to recommission Young Carers Service with support for children and young people affected by substance misuse in the household, by merging the contracts and form one service to build efficiencies and mitigate against a 2.6% annual reduction to the public health grant contribution. It is proposed that the contract is for 2 years and 9 months with break clauses after year 1 and 2. The contract value is £437,000.
