Description

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Merseyside (PCC) has notified that she will award funding to provide Appropriate Adult services for Vulnerable Adults in Merseyside for a 12-month period with an option to extend by four periods of 12 months, resulting in a potential 5-year contract, commencing 1st April 2022 - ending 31st March 2027.
The PCC requires a high-quality Appropriate Adult Service which safeguards the interests and welfare of Vulnerable Adults in Police Custody or Voluntary Attendance sites within Merseyside, where parents/carers, or the person with responsibility, are unable or unwilling to attend. The presence of an Appropriate Adult provides one of the essential checks and balances within the criminal justice process and ensures that the rights of Vulnerable Adults are protected.
