Description

The Integrated Early Years Service at London Borough of Tower Hamlets wishes to commission suitable provider/s to deliver a Locality (cluster) based Parent and Infant Wellbeing Service to build on the work and success of the pilot project, Better Beginnings.

This will involve appointing a Parent and Infant Wellbeing Coordinator who will recruit and supervise a team of volunteer peer supporters to provide support for local parents and carers during pregnancy and the first year of the baby's life. It will link closely with the children's centres in each cluster to identify pregnant families and families with children born within the last 6 months and host an initial home visit to each of the identified and referred families to outline the support available and to signpost other support services and facilities available. For some of the families this would include having an agreed package of support from the projects volunteer peer supporters.

The provider/s will also be responsible for developing and delivering a training programme for the volunteer peer supporters for their cluster.

It is planned that there will be two Parent and Infant Wellbeing Coordinators each covering half of the Borough, either north or south. The Parent and Infant wellbeing Service can be delivered in both clusters by one organisation or by two organisations covering a cluster each. If the contract is awarded to two organisations, close communication and collaboration between the organisations will be expected.
