Provision of a Housing Related Support Domestic Violence Service for Women within Newport

Descriptions

Newport City Council has decided to remodel its Supporting People funded housing-related floating services for people experiencing issues relating to domestic abuse.The Supporting People Programme in Newport currently funds three small floating support services which are under contract with three different support providers. It is intended that these will be replaced by a single service. This service will be for females only as the Council is exploring options to develop a separate cross-authority service for men.In order to inform the recommissioning process the Council would like organisations working in this field to contribute towards the development of the service specification and invite support providers to attend consultation sessions with the Supporting People Team.We welcome attendance from support providers already working with the Supporting People Team in Newport as well as those from outside the area. We will be holding a separate event for service users.The Supporting People Team would like to meet with support providers individually and have set aside two dates in September 2018 for this purpose; Wednesday 5 September (10.15 am to 4.45 pm) and Tuesday 18 September 2018 (1.15 pm to 5 pm).Each consultation session will last up to a maximum of 45 minutes each and will be by appointment only.If you would like to attend please contact Luci Clague, Principal Contracts and Reviewing Officer (Supporting People) on 01633 235203 or by emailing luci.clague@newport.gov.uk.No further consultation sessions will be held so if you wish to participate please book early to obtain a place.NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the Sell2Wales Web Site at https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=84487.
