The Commissioner is leading the commissioning of the regional Independent Domestic Violence Advisor ("IDVA") Services in the Gwent Police Force area on behalf of the Commissioning Partners which include the Commissioner, the five local authorities in Gwent and the Violence against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence ("VAWDASV") Commissioning Board (the "Commissioning Partners"). IDVA's were introduced in the Home Office 2005 Domestic Violence National Action Plan as a key area for service expansion, with a national commitment to IDVA posts in all Specialist Domestic Violence Courts ("SDVC") and investment for posts and training from Westminster Government sources. The Home Office 2008 Tackling Violent Crime Plan identified domestic violence as a priority area with IDVA's and MultiAgency Risk Assessment Conference's ("MARAC's") core strategies in reducing domestic violence and improving the criminal justice response. This framework marked an approach to domestic violence through a crime lens, with a shift to focussing on serious violence and high-risk victims. Wales has had a national Violence Against Women Strategy since 2010 (Right to be Safe Strategy), which was refreshed and updated in November 2016. The Contractor shall provide a single IDVA Service across the Gwent Force area. The IDVAs shall work to address the safety of people at high risk of domestic abuse from intimate partners, ex-partners and family members to secure their safety and the safety of their children. Operating as the primary point of contact, IDVAs typically work with their clients from the point of crisis to assess the risk, review options, and develop and implement plans to address their immediate safety, as well as longer-term solutions. Although the Service will not work directly with children under the age of 16, the IDVAs shall make referrals to safeguard children and adults at risk of harm and ensure appropriate signposting to specialist Services and following duty of report procedures to the relevant local authority when appropriate. The Service shall be inclusive and available for all clients affected by domestic abuse. Tender documents can be obtained via https://etenderwales.bravosolution.co.uk/ ITT_99461

This tender is being run on etender wales https://etenderwales.bravosolution.co.uk itt_100236 Police and Crime Commissioners are required to undertake a Victims Needs Assessment every four(4) years to understand local victim needs and the service provision available. The assessment will inform local and future commissioning of Victim Services. The assessment will need to take into consideration the current economic climate and the impact on services. The Commissioners require a specific focus on children and young people, and victims with protected characteristics in order to ensure that services are accessible and inclusive for all victims. Three individual needs assessments are required across the populations within the force areas of South Wales Police, Dyfed Powys Police and Gwent Police. We require one provider for all three areas. South Wales will lead the procurement exercise on behalf of Gwent and Dyfed Powys Commissioners.

There is a significant drive, both nationally and locally, towards developing collaborative safeguarding approaches that prioritise early intervention and prevention to aid in safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults. This is reflected in national policy such as the Social Services and Well-Being (Wales) Act 2014, the Well-Being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 as well as the Wales Safeguarding Procedures - https://www.safeguarding.wales/ The Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent on behalf of the five Local Authorities within Gwent are seeking an independent body to undertake a review of the current services in the East and West Safeguarding Hubs along with the Missing Children Service to assist in informing them on the future model for the provision of these services. The aim of the review is to allow each service to have a clear understanding as to the benefits derived from the changes in the current service provision which have been made to date, along with areas for improvement. Each local authority will require a set of recommendations to inform future decisions, by establishing the overall success of the safeguarding hubs whilst identifying areas for improvement. The review shall also establish the operational effectiveness of the Missing Children Service, whilst identifying areas where improvements can be made to this area.
