On 8 February 2018, Full Council agreed a number of specific saving areas, which would be subject to further consultation prior to a final decision being made by Cabinet.
One of these areas is the county council's provision of "lower-level advocacy" services, which help vulnerable people understand information about public services, have their voice heard and their rights protected. Advocacy involves one-to-one support to help people access public services equitably. The service is non-statutory.
This report presents the results of the consultation and its impact on the related policy recommendation.
This is deemed to be a Key Decision and the provisions of Standing Order C19 have been complied with.
