This is done in part through drawing down external expertise, from various sectors, to support local authorities in these circumstances. Intervention and improvement advisers are contracted by the Department to work with local authorities that fail to provide adequate services for children in need of help and protection, children looked after, or care leavers, or, for local authorities with identified areas of priority action Advisors provide CSC expertise to diagnose problems, support councils to produce effective improvement plans, monitor improvement progress and provide reports to Ministers. The Department wishes to establish a pool of advisers that we can quickly deploy to work directly with local authorities. This preferred supplier list (PSL) will run until the end of March 2023 and the Department reserves the right to extend it for a maximum of 12 months thereafter. As a minimum, the adviser will provide a clear and sustained focus on the areas for improvement and ensure independent oversight of the authority's progress in line with improvement plans. In doing so, the Adviser is expected to: supervise the programme of change that the authority has embarked on; drive forward the improvements and implement close monitoring arrangements; build on the work that has already taken place and take action to address delays or poor planning. The successful bidder will bring their extensive and proven skills in children's social care improvement to support the delivery of a programme of change to services for the most vulnerable children in the authority.
