Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children (UASC) Support Services

Description

The Support Services for UASC ensure that their immediate needs are met upon arrival in Kent, or elsewhere, prior to entering the care of a local authority. Additionally, there is a need to ensure UASC have access to information and support to help them navigate the asylum process. The services will operate alongside, and in collaboration with the Authority and a range of other services and Authority suppliers to enable the effective operation of the system to manage and support UASC. It is recognised that service users may require only one, or a combination of these services at any given time. Therefore, all services areas must be available but would be delivered on an as-required basis, according to the needs of each individual case. The core service areas are: Service Area 1: Deliver Services at Kent Intake Unit (KIU) Service Area 2: Delivery of Future Orientation Sessions The content of this Notice, including the estimated contract value and indicative contract timelines, is subject to change.
