Summary
The Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) is seeking a team to conduct a review of how youth justice services respond to children involved in serious violence, weapons offences, and VAWG (Violence Against Women and Girls). This review will describe the challenges practitioners face, how they make decisions, and the responses they choose.
We’re interested in whether evidence on what works to reduce violence and offending is used in this context and how evidence could be tailored to support practitioners with the decisions they make.
Project Goals
This study will help inform YEF’s recommendations for the youth justice sector on how to reduce violence amongst children and young people (which will draw on a range of ongoing and completed research work).
How to apply
Proposals should clearly set out the team’s subject expertise, research experience, methodological approach, budget and value for money, and a project plan and timeline.
