Summary
YEF is seeking an individual or team to produce an interim practice insights guide on effective tracking of children and young people vulnerable to involvement in violence and identified for support, but who do not currently meet thresholds for statutory services.
Project aim
The interim practice insights guide and accompanying materials will be used in workshops delivered by YEF with each local partnership. Following the workshop, sites will use the guidance to inform their local action plans focused on improving arrangements for overseeing and coordinating services for this group of children and young people at risk. These materials will also feed into the wider ALP evidence base and inform a final practice insights guide, to be published by YEF in 2026 and made available to multi-agency partnerships beyond the ALP.
How to apply
Proposals should be no longer than 2,500 words, and should set out the individual/team’s expertise, experience, methodological approach, and budget. You may attach relevant documents to support your application – this will not be included in the word count.
We are open to individuals/teams suggesting their own approaches, and/or suggesting improvements and amendments to our own.
The deadline for proposals is 5pm 22 September 2025. We intend to conduct interviews 29/30 September.
The deadline for the full draft report is 5 December 2025.
The deadline for revisions further to feedback is 19 December 2025.
