Virtual School - Clinical Psychology Led Education Support

Liverpool City Council's Virtual School is procuring a psychology-informed workforce development and consultation service valued at £75,600 annually (£302,400 over three years plus optional one-year extension) to support children in care, previously looked-after children, and those with a social worker. The provider will deliver trauma-informed and attachment-aware consultation, training, reflective supervision, and strategic leadership to schools, social care professionals, carers, and Virtual School staff, focusing on improving educational planning, inclusive practice, and multi-agency collaboration through psychological approaches. The service is educational in nature rather than clinical, requiring approximately 88 days of delivery per year over an 11-month period.
