Supportive Interventions for Children Affected by Domestic Abuse

Knowsley Council is currently developing its services to children and families affected by Domestic Abuse (DA) in line with the Domestic Violence Reduction Strategy and the priorities of the Local Safeguarding Children's Board (KSCB) which are the following: 1. Children are protected and receive the support they need including prevention, early intervention and early help 2. KSCB listens to children and families to inform its work 3. KSCB is effective in its work through single and multi-agency arrangements to safeguard children The service sought through this tender process is intended to extend the provision of 1-to-1 and group-work support available to children whose needs arising from DA (and other factors in combination where this is evident) require targeted or specialist support as identified within the context of the local Threshold of Need Guidance document.
