Integrated Statutory Advocacy Hub

Tender description

Statutory advocacy services including advocacy under the Care Act, Independent Mental Health Advocacy, Independent Mental Capacity Advocacy and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (whilst required), Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS), Independent Health Complaints Advocacy (IHCAS), as well as limited Non Statutory Advocacy in agreement with the authorised Commissioner, in rarer cases where an advocate is required outside of the other legislates outlined.
