About

Surrey County Council is seeking information from potential suppliers for a high-quality Appropriate Adult Service to safeguard the interests, rights and welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults in Surrey under its statutory duties (Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 and the Crime and Disorder Act 1998). The service will ensure those suspected of a criminal offence are treated fairly and can participate effectively where parents/carers or the person with parental responsibility are unable or unwilling to attend. This Request for Information (RFI) aims to gather detailed insights on suppliers' capabilities, capacity and interest in meeting the requirements for the Surrey Appropriate Adult Volunteering Service (SAAVS).

Insight

This RFI may be most relevant to organisations experienced in providing Appropriate Adult support or volunteer-based safeguarding services. Key considerations include demonstrating compliance with statutory duties under PACE 1984 and the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, showing sufficient capacity and capability to safeguard rights and welfare, and explaining how volunteers would be managed to ensure individuals can participate effectively when parents/carers cannot attend.
