About
Dorset Council awarded a contract to Bournemouth Churches Housing Association for the delivery of the Pause programme, a licensed national initiative using a social franchising approach.
The service provides support to women who have experienced or are at risk of repeat removals of children from their care, aiming to improve their wellbeing, resilience, and stability.
The programme addresses complex needs including trauma, grief, domestic abuse, mental health issues, and substance misuse, with the goal of reducing future numbers of infants brought into care and disrupting trans-generational cycles of poor outcomes.
The contract value is £1,519,750.51.
