Medway Council's aim is to prevent young people who are on the ‘edge of care’ from entering the care system.
Young people on the ‘edge of care’ are, for the purpose of the project, defined as those young people aged 11 years and over for whom entry into care is being considered by the local authority, either on a voluntary basis or through legal proceedings.
The proposal is to procure a 12-month Edge of Care service provision, consisting of a multi-disciplinary team to provide targeted intervention for children and young people aged 11-16. The aim is to prevent 40 children and young people from entering care and/or to return those children for whom it is appropriate, back to the care of their families.
