About

Lancashire County Council awarded a contract to NYAS for the provision of children's rights, advocacy, and independent visitors services.

The service aims to promote the rights of children and young people (CYP) through effective and independent advocacy, in accordance with the National Standards for the Provision of Children's Advocacy Services.

It provides independent and confidential support to CYP.

The Independent Visitor Service involves managing the recruitment, training, and matching of volunteer 'befrienders' for children looked after (CLA) by Lancashire County Council, in line with relevant legislation and statutory guidance.

Independent Visitors visit, advise, and befriend CYP, with activities tailored to individual needs and wishes.

The contract value is £208,000.
