Provider Event for Domestic Abuse skilled workers based within Together for Families Children's social care

Cornwall Council is preparing to recommission the Family Domestic Abuse Skilled Worker (FDASA) Service, with a new contract expected to begin January 2027. We are holding a Provider Market Engagement Event to share our early service outline and gather provider views before finalising the tender.

The FDASA model provides a small team of specialist domestic abuse workers who are based within Family Help teams to offer short-term, focused support to families where domestic abuse is a primary concern. Their role is to increase safety, improve understanding of risk, and support access to wider domestic abuse services, while working alongside-rather than replacing-Children's Social Care.

The service includes a supervisor/team lead to ensure consistency and coordination. Provider Market Engagement Event Date: 11th May 2026 Time: 1pm - 3pm
