PRJ 1319 NHS SEL ICB - Child Sexual Abuse Emotional Wellbeing Support Services.

NHS South East London ICB (hereafter referred to as "the Authority") is seeking to commission Child Sexual Abuse Emotional Wellbeing Support Services. The main aim of the Child Sexual Abuse Emotional Wellbeing Support Services is to provide trauma-informed and child centred emotional support and advocacy to CYP victims of CSA, improving wellbeing, self-efficacy and reducing traumatisation.

The early emotional support service will provide trauma-informed, child centred support to CYP victims of CSA including advocacy, case management, and symptom management. The number of sessions offered will be based on need and could be up to 15 sessions. This will be offered to CYP and their families across the 6 boroughs of SEL.

The early emotional support service will work with the paediatric teams in each of the 6 boroughs as one team, providing a holistic health review focused on the needs of the child/young person and their family. Please note, not all boroughs in SEL have local CSA paediatric teams, and therefore the early emotional support provider will work with borough level teams and the CYP havens as needed.
