Independent Visitors
Notice Description
Bedford Borough Council (the Council) is committed to the development of an effective care system, which enables those children and young people who are unable (for whatever reason) to live safely with their family of origin.

This contract will operate for a maximum of 5 years (3 + 1 + 1) from 01 April 2017. It is a statutory requirement that local authorities provide an Independent Visitors service for children and young people if they require one.
