Total Quantity or Scope

The provision of Independent Professional Advocacy (IPA) is a legislative requirement under Part 10 of the Social Services and Wellbeing (Wales) Act (SSWBA) 2014. This type of advocacy is provided in circumstances such as where a citizen’s access to care and support services is in question. Advocacy itself can be seen on a continuum and while IPA provision is specifically mandated, other types are to be encouraged, building on individual and community capacity. We are seeking a single IPA service for West Wales with the service model based on: -Management -Single point of contact -Direct IPA advocacy work – generic & specialist IPA provision -Workforce and sector development -Awareness raising and understanding
