The service is expected to reflect strong local knowledge of Manchester's communities and align with a strengths-based, relational approach to working with families.
This preliminary market engagement is intended to: • Understand market interest and capacity • Explore potential delivery models, including community and volunteer-based approaches • Assess the feasibility of delivering the service at a local level • Gather indicative cost information
