Descriptions

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council (NPTCBC) has appointed a suitably qualified and experienced training consultant to undertake the design and delivery of a bespoke training programme for ‘Lead Professional’ and ‘Team Around Family Team Skills’ training for NPTCBC.The Team Around the Family (TAF) approach provides family support to local Neath Port Talbot (NPT) Families. The families are eligible for this service as they are deemed to have complex needs. The TAF assessment undertaken by the TAF team is based upon Think Family Indicators and research in 2012 undertaken by ‘Cordis Bright’.The TAF service fits into an overall approach for Early Intervention and Prevention as we aim to reduce the number and timing of families who are likely to have children who are referred into ‘care’ are expensive and who require significant involvement from a number of partners from across the child young and family support provision in NPT.The appointed Consultant will be required to provide a bespoke training programme for the TAF Team and the Think Family Partnership Board partners that cover 2 areas:1) Lead Family Contact (or Lead Professional), and2) Family Worker Skills TrainingIt is anticipated that training is to be provided for 60 delegates.The programme is being supported by the European Social Fund through the Welsh Government and will be subject to external audit.
