    Brief

    This contract opportunity is for service delivery partners to support the Family Connections Pilot, a collaborative initiative led by The Maslow Foundation, Sussex Prisoners' Families (SPF), and KSS Probation. The pilot addresses the critical impact of maternal imprisonment on dependent children, recognizing it as an Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) with lasting effects including trauma, instability, and reduced life opportunities. The programme seeks to provide holistic support services that mitigate these negative outcomes and improve outcomes for affected children and families. This is part of KSS's wider commitment to supporting vulnerable populations and breaking cycles of disadvantage. Suitable applicants should have experience in family support, trauma-informed practice, or children's services.
