What is being bought
Published requirement description**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN EXPRESSION OF INTEREST ACTIVITY**
The WAVE Programme is a locally adapted version of the national Pause Programme, designed to offer a more comprehensive and outcome-focused service. Drawing on learning from Pause, WAVE was developed to better meet local needs.
The aim of the WAVE service is to reduce future domestic abuse by supporting young people who are in care, or care experienced young people, to make more informed choices regarding Sexual Health, Sexual Safety and Healthy Relationships. The service will also engage with Northamptonshire Children's Trust CIC and Leaving Care teams to provide training and support to these frontline teams.
The service and caseloads will predominately be focused on young females (16 -25yrs) but will also seek to develop support to young males leaving Care. The work will be focused on Sexual Health, Sexual Safety, Healthy Relationships and reducing Domestic Violence, with particular focus on supporting young people to access existing services and for the team to work with those services to share a Trauma informed approach. This service will not replace the existing Personal Advisors (PA's) support available to young people but work closely alongside PAs to enhance the offer of support to those identified as at high risk.
