What the notice says

Children’s Services Residential 2026 The service to be provided is residential care for Children or Young People (CYP) aged 11-17 (with the option to vary if demand dictates), within four of Cardiff Council-owned children’s home, placed after an assessment of their needs by Cardiff Council. These services will be provided in a manner that best safeguards and promotes the welfare of the Child or Young Person in respect of whom the Services are provided. Children and young people will need to be supported using the Trauma Recovery Model and by employing an approach that is strengths based, and person centred. The Provider will work with individuals to achieve positive outcomes in line with their assessed needs and to meet the expectations of the Child or Young Person.
