Overview
Invitation to attend a market engagement event on Wednesday, 3rd Jun. The DfE are seeking a provider to develop and manage an online platform for Designated Safeguarding Leads.
The intention is to launch the platform by September 2020. The Department wish the platform to be user led, including establishing a framework for quality assuring content.
Potential providers will be responsible for producing and commissioning user-tested content, over time, which reflects changes to statutory guidance and emerging evidence and practice on supporting children, including children with a social worker. The aim of the platform will be to: • signpost DSLs to the right evidence-based information to support children, including those on a Children in Need Plan, on a Child Protection Plan and Looked After Children. • provide a platform to share best practice and case studies, including on how to improve outcomes; • provide a forum for peer-to-peer support between DSLs; and • advertise a national forum with events for DSLs. The Department's expectation is that the solution should be a COTS product based on open standards that meets the needs of the users, and will be primarily low-code or zero code in nature.
