This service will provide practical and preventative support to children, young people, and families experiencing financial hardship. The service aims to remove barriers to education, improve access to essential items, strengthen family resilience, and reduce the impact of poverty on educational outcomes. Support will combine immediate practical assistance with family coaching, early intervention, and access to wider support services to address both immediate need and longer-term challenges. The service recognises that children cannot fully participate in education when basic material needs are unmet. Lasting change is best achieved by supporting the whole family. The provider of this service should work closely with existing children services to ensure that families are referred to these services when appropriate and all appropriate support that is available is being received.

To facilitate more cohesive and efficient delivery of therapeutic assessments which support EHCP delivery and to ensure better outcomes for children whose educational needs are the responsibility of the D2N2 Councils are publishing an opportunity for providers to join a framework.

The framework will be procured under the "Light Touch Regime" for Social and Other Specific Services, and the Councils anticipate that framework will be reopened periodically to new applicants.
