Description
Supplier Engagement event 3rd April 2025 11am. Please email zoe.shrehane@bedford.gov.uk for teams invite. Since the inception of Bedford Borough's Early Help offer we have seen a significant increase in Services completing Early Help Assessments requesting support for young people and their families who may be experiencing emotional, social wellbeing and behavioural difficulties. Counselling Services are required, as part of a continuum of provision in order to address these needs, and to support and complement the Early Help offer. By ensuring this provision is in place, we can help to empower, support and encourage children, young people and families through difficult times, with the hope of them achieving independence, self-worth, motivation and social and educational skills
