Description

Surrey County Council (SCC, the Council) is required under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE) 1984 and the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 to provide a statutory service of an Appropriate Adult. The presence of an Appropriate Adult provides one of the essential checks and balances within the criminal justice process and ensures that the rights of children, young people and vulnerable adults are protected. To meet this statutory service, SCC is planning to commission a high-quality Appropriate Adult Service which safeguards the interests, rights, entitlements and welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults in Surrey who are suspected of a criminal offence, by ensuring that they are treated in a fair and just manner and are able to participate effectively where parents/carers, or the person with parental responsibility, are unable or unwilling to attend.

To understand the current market and supplier landscape (before launching any formal tender opportunity), Surrey County Council is issuing a Request For Information (RFI). The RFI will help us to gather detailed insights from potential suppliers regarding their capabilities, capacity and interest in meeting the requirements for Surrey Appropriate Adult Volunteering Service (SAAVS).
