    Brief

    Swansea Council seeks a service provider to deliver the Independent Visitor Service (IVS), a statutory service for children and young people aged 3-18 in council care. The service recruits, trains, and supports volunteer Independent Visitors who act as friends and mentors to looked after children, providing consistent emotional support, companionship, and engagement in activities. This role is distinct from social work and is designed to offer stability and positive relationships to vulnerable young people who often experience significant disruptions. The service operates under the Social Services and Well-Being (Wales) Act 2014, Section 98, which requires councils to appoint independent visitors to support looked after children. Potential suppliers should have experience in volunteer recruitment and management, safeguarding protocols, training delivery, and providing support services to vulnerable young people.
