P0563 - Delivery of School Health Support Services - AWARD

Birmingham City Council wishes to establish a Contract for the provision of School Health Support Services. This Contract is being re-advertised with additional funding and longer Contract duration.

In Birmingham we want to maximise the health and wellbeing of children and young people. In order to do this we want to enable children and young people to attend and engage with school. If they engage with school they will be more likely to achieve their potential - attend, engage, achieve.

In order to enable attendance and engagement by pupils with school the Service will:

a) Support schools to adapt to pupils with medical needs including SEND, schools' health planning and Education Health and Care Plans. b) Enable the health components of plans for Child Protection, Children in Need, Children in Care, and those on the edge of exclusion to be enacted in the school setting. c) Support the interaction between NHS health services, local voluntary sector, and education so that the child or young person can attain their full potential, using Right Help, Right Time Framework, Early Help and Think Family systems. d) Develop effective partnerships with schools and other agencies in a locality, resulting in a joined -up approach to support improvements in health and wellbeing of school aged children. e) Support emotional wellbeing through the school-aged years by referring to the Early Emotional Help arrangements and Forward Thinking Birmingham. f) Deliver the National Child Measurement Programme.

The Contract will commence on 1st July 2019 and will last for 3 years (unless terminated under the terms and conditions of contract) with the option to extend for 12 months and a further 12 months subject to requirements and satisfactory performance.
