Powys County Council is seeking to commission a residential children’s home service as part of its ongoing commitment to providing exceptional care and support to vulnerable children.
The primary goal is to create a nurturing and secure environment that promotes the physical, emotional, and psychological growth of the children in residence. We are seeking a service provider with dedication to the welfare of the children and their holistic development, ensuring that financial considerations do not compromise the quality of care.
Through this service, Powys County Council seeks to collaboratively create a supportive residential environment that enriches the lives of these children and contributes positively to their overall life trajectories.
