Parent Carer Needs Assessment and Support

Norfolk County Council’s contract for the provision of Parent Carer Needs Assessment and Support service is due to end on the 31st of March 2025. The Council is looking to award a new contract due to commence on the 1st of April 2025. The service is aimed at assessing and supporting the parent/carer of disabled children in Norfolk, so they are better able to meet the needs of their child(ren).

The Council is seeking to commission a service that will enable parent carers to improve their confidence in their ability to support and meet the needs of their child, helping to reduce crisis and need for other services, and improve relationships between parent carers and their family members including the cared for. The service will deliver this by helping the parent carers connect with support services, improving the wellbeing of parent carers by reducing loneliness and isolation by providing opportunities to connect and meet other parent carers in a similar situation, and improving their understanding of what support is available, ensuring they can access this in a timelier way.
