## Description

The Council currently has several advice and mediation services in place that support our foster carers, and children and families in respect of Education Health and Care Planning\. As part of the Council's recommissioning decisions, we are interested to see if there were similarities between the services that would allow a more joined up approach to the delivery of advice and mediation services for families in Nottinghamshire\. All information gathered from the Soft Market Testing will be carefully considered and will inform the future development of the advice and mediation services within Nottinghamshire\.
