About
Durham County Council awarded a contract to NYAS for the provision of an Independent Advocacy Service for Children and Young People.
The service ensures that children in need receiving services from Durham County Council's Children's Services and Aycliffe Secure Service have access to independent advocacy, enabling them to have a say in decisions about their lives, share concerns, be listened to, and be treated fairly.
The contract value is £555,290 and includes an option to extend for two further periods of 12 months, subject to budget and commissioner approval.
The Council believes that the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE) applies to this contract.
