What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionAdvocacy is about representing the views, wishes and needs of children and young people to decision-makers, and helping them to navigate the system.

Providing advocacy services also supports statutory responsibilities and duties placed upon the Authority, including to safeguard Children and Young People in custody, to promote and advance equality and diversity opportunities and protect children's and human rights.
