This is an assessment of the decision to add an additional year to the current contract as a means of dealing with the implementation of Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS)which may take place from 1 October 2023, pending a national decision on implementation. The Adults \u2019Lot covers the following types of advocacy provision: Care Act, Independent Mental Capacity Advocacy (IMCA) and Independent Mental Health Advocacy (IMHA). The contract originally also covered non-statutory general social care advocacy, but that has not been provided for the last three years due to capacity and the need to prioritise statutory referrals. The Lot also includes a small element of NHS Devon Health Complains Advocacy, which comes under a completely different legislative framework to the statutory social care advocacy listed above.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" data-page-number=\"2\" data-loaded=\"true\">\n<div class=\"canvasWrapper\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"textLayer\">2The Children\u2019s Lot covers: Issue-based advocacy for children in care, care leavers, children and young people wishing to make a complaint or representation about a health or social care service that they receive, and children subject to child protection proceedings; advocacy for children in the Atkinson Secure Unit, Independent Person provision for Atkinson residents, Regulation 44 Visitors to the Atkinson Unit; and Independent Visitors for Children in Care.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Impact Assessment of Social Care Advocacy contract extension by a year &#8211; October 2022 This is an assessment of the impact of the decision to add an additional year to the combined contract for Adults and Children\u2019s Social Care Advocacy, a single contract divided into separate Adults \u2019and a Children\u2019s contractual Lots, which are tendered [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2723,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1670","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-impact-assessment"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-02 16:57:37","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/impact\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1670","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/impact\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/impact\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/impact\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2723"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/impact\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1670"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/impact\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1670\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1671,"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/impact\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1670\/revisions\/1671"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/impact\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/impact\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1670"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/impact\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
