There may also be occasions when we require bespoke care and support packages to meet the needs of siblings. The creation of the Approved Provider List for Care and Support Agencies will ensure that the Council can purchase bespoke care and support packages from Providers confident in the knowledge that they have met all essential criteria contained within the Invitation to Tender (ITT) documents and have been successful with their application for inclusion on the APL. The Approved Provider List will offer best value and more choice when we require bespoke care and support packages for young people who have become a 'Child We Care For' (CWCF) or a 'Care Leaver' (CL). Children can become a Child We Care For either by: • A voluntary arrangement between the parents and the local authority, known as being 'accommodated' under section 20 of the Children Act 1989. • Coming into police protection • Being subject to a court order, such as an Emergency Protection Order. • Being subject to a Care Order. • Being remanded in criminal proceedings. Children We Care For can live in different types of settings, for example: • Living with foster carers • Living with friends or relatives (kinship care) • Living in a children's residential home • Living at home while on care orders made by the courts. Additional information: The initial contract period will run for four years. There is an option to extend for a period/periods for up to an additional four years in aggregate. The value of the contract shown is only for the initial period.
