Description

Advocacy can challenge inequality and discrimination and facilitate access to appropriate treatment and support. It can also serve to influence the development and design of culturally acceptable and appropriate services, and increase the awareness and understanding of mental health needs, autism spectrum conditions, and learning disabilities (the "Conditions"). Lancashire County Council seeks to procure a service which will offer non-statutory advocacy to support people with the Conditions ("People") to have their views and wishes heard and acted upon in relation to a variety of issues (the "Service"). In each Lot which is awarded, the Service Provider will support People with either: • Mental health needs; • Autism Spectrum Conditions; or • Learning disabilities
