Families First Mobilisation Contract

Nationally, as well as in Bristol, continued increases in demand for statutory services is putting pressure on teams and placement budgets. For those children that are taken into care, their life chances can be significantly impaired.
A re-baselined full business case for the Families First programme received internal council approval on 10th December following an initial phase of discovery work carried out by Newton Europe. This is the next step that aims to mobilise the programme at pace and scope out the programme of work that will be used to go out to open tender for the delivery phase.
