Pathway 1 provides general advice, guidance and support in reconnecting young people with their families to enable the young person to stay at home, where safe to do so, or find other accommodation on an emergency basis for a time limited period (up to 14 nights). If emergency accommodation is sought for the young person further work will be undertaken, usually for up to 6 weeks, around reconnecting them to return to the family setting, where safe.
Pathway 2 provides accommodation with longer-term support for up to 2 years in cases where returning home is not appropriate or possible, which might include support to help them access education, employment or training, or help in developing the skills needed to become more independent and manage a tenancy.

Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures: 
North Yorkshire County Council shall in accordance with the Public Contracts (Amendment) Regulations 2015, incorporate a minimum 10 day standstill period commencing at the point that information on the intention to award the contract is sent to tenderers.
The Council shall, as soon as possible after the decision has been made, inform the tenderers and candidates of its decision, and shall do so by notice in writing by the most rapid means of communication practicable.
Should additional information be required, please contact the person cited in paragraph I.1) of this form.

Any such action must be started within 30 days beginning with the date when the aggrieved party first knew or ought to have known that grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen. Where a contract has not been entered into the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the authority to amend any document and may award damages. Following the 10 day standstill period, if no further debriefing has been requested, the Court may only award damages once the contract has been entered into.
