Children and Families
1. Support to Children, Young People and Families (see report 109-2021) It is proposed to implement measures designed to continue to improve support to care experienced children and young people and families with children with disabilities. These measures will build upon progress achieved over the last 3 years in reducing the number of children and young people entering care; ensuring that they can remain in local family-based placements when they unavoidably enter care; providing accessible and reliable support which flexibly meets individual needs; and improving outcomes across a range of measures. In doing so, they will also make significant contributions towards reducing costs.
2. HELM Provision (see report 110-2021) It is proposed to reduce funding for HELM and to implement a transition support plan. Part year funding will continue from April until August 2021 to assist HELM in bridging to a new business model partly through the Dundee Children and Families Support Framework. In order to manage the longer-term risk of reduction in support for young people who would no longer attend HELM, planning is well underway with D&A College to explore how additional capacity could be made by building on the success of PACE.

Support to Children, Young People and Families (see report 109-2021) It is proposed to implement measures designed to continue to improve support to care experienced children and young people and families with children with disabilities. These measures will build upon progress achieved over the last 3 years in reducing the number of children and young people entering care; ensuring that they can remain in local family-based placements when they unavoidably enter care; providing accessible and reliable support which flexibly meets individual needs; and improving outcomes across a range of measures. In doing so, they will also make significant contributions towards reducing costs.
2. HELM Provision (see report 110-2021) It is proposed to reduce funding for HELM and to implement a transition support plan. Part year funding will continue from April until August 2021 to assist HELM in bridging to a new business model partly through the Dundee Children and Families Support Framework. In order to manage the longer-term risk of reduction in support for young people who would no longer attend HELM, planning is well underway with D&A College to explore how additional capacity could be made by building on the success of PACE.
