support services. DWP will be funding this Relate contract in 2015/16 at the same

they manage this contract and which partners / sub-contractors they involve in supporting
delivery of these services.</p><p> </p><p>However, we would encourage existing providers
to make use of the valuable skills and expertise that are offered by the third sector,
such as Grandparents Association.</p>
