Strategic Re-Commissioning of Children's Services
Created: 02/10/2020, Updated: 17/11/2020Fife Council has today, through FVA's website, published the briefs for funding applications for services for Children and Young People.
This process follows a long period of engagement with the third sector, with a view to re-commissioning services to be more aligned to key partnership strategies. Fife Council colleagues are keen that the partnership approach is productive for all parties and organisations can contact them if they have queries.
For queries about the services to be delivered within each brief you can contact Lynn Gillies. For any technical queries about the application process you can contact Chris Campbell.
The deadline for applications is 5pm, Friday 20 November. (NOTE: the substance misuse brief was added on 05 November and the deadline is 22 December for applications for that one).
