    "description": "The supplier is responsible for recruiting and running two Advisory Board\u0027s made up of children and young people aged 11-25 with a wide range of care experience. The aim for the board is that the members can bring fresh perspectives and challenge to our policy development as we move into the delivery phase of reform and that the views they share are given equal weighting to those from the sector. Young people have told us that opportunities to share their views with Ministers and senior civil servants directly is important to them. SCS across children\u2019s social care agree that this is a priority, and that we need to continue listening to children and young people as an integral part of our work. The Supplier will support us with these key elements, especially bringing safeguarding expertise and knowledge of effective pastoral care and experience in enabling children and young people to engage in a professional environment. The supplier will also support us with protecting children and young people\u2019s personal data. The supplier will adhere to DfE\u2019s stringent standards on GDPR and IT security and standards and demonstrate this effectively through their policies, procedures and practice.",
