Purpose

Nationally, as well as in Bristol, continued
increases in demand for statutory services is putting pressure on
teams and placement budgets. For those children that are taken into
care, their life chances can be significantly impaired.
A re-baselined full business case for the Families First programme
received internal council approval on 10th December following an
initial phase of discovery work carried out by Newton Europe. This
is the next step that aims to mobilise the programme at pace and
scope out the programme of work that will be used to go out to open
tender for the delivery phase.
