About

Kent County Council awarded a contract to SEAP for the provision of an Advocacy Hub for adults in Kent, valued at £1,490,000.

The Hub will meet statutory requirements for independent advocacy under the Mental Capacity Act 2005, Mental Health Act 2007, Health and Social Care Act 2012, and Care Act 2014, across all categories of need, including young people in transition to adult services.

It will also provide non-statutory Community Advocacy and Peer Advocacy for adults with dementia, mental health needs, autistic spectrum conditions, and physical and sensory impairments, excluding Learning Disability Community Advocacy which is covered by an existing countywide contract.

The provider will lead on wider advocacy matters, partnering with the voluntary and community sector and advising providers to ensure advocacy is understood and support is available.
