Description

As part of the Mental Health Act reforms, DHSC is commissioning three pilots in Culturally Appropriate Advocacy, in three different geographical locations in England where there are higher proportions of ethnic minority detentions.
b. Suppliers will be able to develop their model of Culturally Appropriate Advocacy as they see fit, however they will need to do this in line with some specific requirements. For example, the model must include plans to engage people from ethnic minority groups and be developed with input from the relevant local authority and NHS mental health trust.
c. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate expertise and experience in delivering advocacy services and services which engage and support people from ethnic minority groups. We particularly encourage consortium bids, including between advocacy providers and community ethnic minority support organisations.
