Summary
YEF is seeking to appoint a delivery partner for a new Restorative Justice (RJ) fund. The delivery partner will develop a model of direct RJ, support the recruitment of Youth Justice Service (YJS) teams already delivering RJ, coordinate the delivery of this model amongst these YJSs, and work with an independent evaluator to ensure a robust evaluation of this.
There is a current evidence gap on the impact of RJ within the UK, and its widespread implementation, the YEF believe there is significant value in funding a Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) and Implementation and Process evaluation of direct RJ involving children and young people who have offended.
Project aim
The fund will have two core aims:
- Design, develop and co-ordinate the delivery of a shared practice model of direct RJ Practice across 5-10 Youth Justice Service teams in the UK.
- Successfully run a Pilot RCT and Implementation and Process Evaluation of direct RJ Practice.
How to apply
A delivery partner will be appointed by competitive tendering process. This will involve submission of a full proposal, followed by interviews for shortlisted applicants only.
Proposal forms should be downloaded here and completed in Word Format. It is critical that you adhere to the word limits provided. Alongside the proposal form, you should also submit a risk register, timeline and budget.
The deadline for submitting proposals will be 5pm 28th March 2025.
