Description

Award of contract for Provision of Joint Children's Advocacy Service for the London Boroughs of Enfield and Haringey.
The service will provide an independent and confidential advocacy service to children and young people under the age of 18 or up to 25 if care-leavers.

Every Child in Care has the right to request an advocate if particular circumstances require it. This is underpinned by the statutory responsibility of the Council under the Adoption and Children Act 2002. Article 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and the Human Rights Act 1998 also underpin this statutory responsibility.

Advocacy safeguards children and young people and protects them from abuse and poor practice. Advocacy is about speaking up for children and young people. Advocacy is about empowering children and young people to make sure that their rights are respected, and their views and wishes are heard at all times. Advocacy is about representing the views, wishes and needs of children and young people to decision-makers, and helping them to navigate the system.
The contract will be awarded for an initial period of three (3) years, starting from 1st July 2025, with the option to extend for a further period or periods of up to 2 years
