    Brief

    Manchester is seeking a provider to deliver independent advocacy and visitor services for vulnerable children and young people, including cared for children and young people, care leavers, and 16-17 year olds at risk of homelessness. The service must provide advocacy support to ensure children's voices are heard in disputes with the local authority, represent their views and lived experiences in decision-making, and offer independent visiting services for children aged 8-18. The provider should empower young people to develop self-advocacy skills and build confidence, while also analyzing patterns and trends in advocacy cases to inform service improvements and policy development at local, regional, and national levels. The service should be child-centered, ensuring Manchester's vulnerable children receive practical support, personal development opportunities, and have meaningful influence over decisions affecting their lives.
