Appropriate Adult
Notice Description
The purpose of this PIN is to inform the market of a future opportunity for the Appropriate Adult Contract and to engage the market in consultation. The Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2016 places a duty on local authorities to provide Appropriate Adult Services on a statutory basis, to support vulnerable adults aged 16 years old and over. The role of an Appropriate Adult is primarily to facilitate communication during police procedures between the police and vulnerable adults aged 16 and over who have communication difficulties as a result of a mental disorder. This also applies to designated officers of the specific agencies detailed in Section 42 (3) of the 2016 Act. Local authorities have a statutory responsibility for the delivery of Appropriate Adult Services and associated training. This service is currently provided as part of Glasgow & Partners Emergency Social Work Service (G&PESWS). However, legislation makes provision to commission this statutory duty. Glasgow City Council currently delivers this service in Glasgow City and across East Dunbartonshire, East Renfrewshire, Inverclyde, Renfrewshire and West Dunbartonshire.
