LBN Improving outcomes for children in care through dance

This is a market test and not an invitation to tender. Newham Council would like to hear from organisations who demonstrable experience in working with children in care from a professional therapeutic background. Newham Council is ambitious for our children. We are exploring new and innovative ways to engage and support the growing number of children in care coming into care exposed to adverse experiences and trauma. Newham is seeking a specialist dance organisation who can creatively support young people to express themselves in safe and restorative environment. As a systemic practicing organisation, we are seeking Suppliers with a thorough understanding of our practice model and social work practices who can relate to the experiences of children in care. In addition to qualified dance professionals, teachers and support staff will need to be trained in trauma-informed approaches and have significant experience of working with children and young people in care within a therapeutic capacity.
