Background:

 

This report provided details of progress of the Family Group Conference (FGC) contract currently awarded to Family Action. The FGC model was an internationally recognised method of meeting the required outcomes for children on the edge of care and as such could prevent the escalation of a child into care. Additionally, the model supported increased safety of the vulnerable adult within improved family support and functioning.

 

This Procurement Gateway 4 report has been approved for submission to Cabinetafter review and discussion at Children and Adults Directorate Management Team meeting on 1 October 2013 and Procurement Board on 13 November 2013.

Decision:

202/2013

The Cabinet approved the Gateway 4 and the continuation of the service as set out in paragraph 4.1 of the report (preferred option).

203/2013

The Cabinet agreed that a further report on progress against the Action Plan be reported to Cabinet in March 2014.

 

Reasons:

  • To give time to implement the proposed action plan to increase the usage of the FGC provision;
  • The need to monitor service usage and the number of referrals over the next year;
  • To review if there is a need for the service provision to remain at this level or be reduced.
