Summary
The Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) is seeking a team to conduct a review of community sentences used for children. This review will assess current use and variation in these sentences, along with the decision-making underpinning this practice.
We are specifically interested in which requirements are placed on children, and the extent to which this aligns to the evidence base on what works.
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.
Applicants should submit a proposal by 9am, Monday 2nd March to leanne.robinson@youthendowmentfund.org.uk.
