    Brief

    Liverpool City Council's Virtual School is seeking a provider to deliver a psychology-informed workforce development and consultation service supporting children in care, previously looked-after children, and children with a social worker. The service will provide trauma-informed and attachment-aware consultation, training, reflective supervision, and strategic leadership support to schools, social care professionals, carers, and Virtual School staff. Key deliverables include improving educational planning, inclusive practice, workforce capability, and multi-agency collaboration through psychologically informed approaches that enhance understanding of children's needs, behaviour, wellbeing and learning engagement. The service is educational in nature—no therapy, diagnosis or treatment is required. The contract is valued at £75,600 per annum, with an initial 3-year term and optional 12-month extension, bringing potential total value to £302,400. Delivery comprises approximately 88 days per year over an 11-month period. This is an opportunity for providers with expertise in trauma-informed practice, attachment theory, and educational psychology to support vulnerable children and strengthen the workforce supporting them.
