Representation, Rights and Advocacy Service
Authority: Kent County Council (Local council)·Consortium: 2 public authorities
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionKent County Council (KCC) was looking for an organisation or a consortium of organisations to
deliver a Representation, Rights and Advocacy Service, that includes individual elements
that are a recurring statutory requirement for KCC, as defined by the Children’s Act 1989.
The aim will be to provide a dedicated service that offers robust, consistent and sustainable
support to children, young people and vulnerable adults.
The service model will bring together six interconnected elements of support which include:
- Advocacy for Children in Care and for Care Leavers aged 16 – 24.
- Independent Visitors for Children in Care aged 8 – 18 years.
- Independent Persons for Stage 2 complaints under the Children Act 1989.
- Appropriate Adults for young people aged 10 - 17 years, and vulnerable adults, detained at
police custody suites who require support.
- Accompanying Adults for the purpose of age assessment interviews for unaccompanied
asylum-seeking children, Children Act 1989.
- In addition, and in support to the Independent Visitors Service, funding will be provided for
10 places for a Leaving Care Mentoring Service. This additional funding is for young people
who turn 18 and who choose to retain the support of the Independent Visitor as a Mentor.
The Leaving Care Mentoring Service is not a statutory requirement under the Children’s Act.
