• To provide better and more personalised intensive support for vulnerable child and young people
Rationale for change:
• 65% of current budget invested in over 60 contracts – not sustainable
• Funding reductions applied without comprehensive needs assessment
• Partnerships but not integration• Inability to share information • Duplication • Inconsistent service delivery across the city.
Proposal:
A radical approach to commission out all BYL services for 2012
• Free up resources to respond to emerging needs and innovative approaches
• Open up and cultivate the market• Respond to emerging needs and innovative
approaches• Pool budgets• Integrated Will secure improved services that support children
and young people to achieve excellent outcomes and that are good value for money.
In-house functions:
Robust contract management and quality
assurance as part of a wider commissioning structure An advisory, policy and advocacy role for
children and young people through a team of in-house senior practitioners
Case management as part of the enabling hub.
This level of change will require existing providers and potential providers to be aware of requirements under the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (TUPE).
