    Brief

    London Borough of Barnet is re-tendering two statutory services for children and young people: Lot 1 - Advocacy Services and Lot 2 - Independent Visitor Services (IVS). These services provide support to vulnerable children and young people including those in local authority care, those involved in child protection cases, care leavers, and children in kinship care arrangements. Advocacy services offer independent representation and support for children's rights and wishes, while Independent Visitor Services provide trusted adults who visit and support looked-after children. Suppliers should be experienced in delivering child-centered services with strong safeguarding practices and understanding of statutory requirements. This is a two-lot tender where bidders may apply for one or both services.
