Description

Please download the accompanying tender document (Request for Quotations) to support responding to this tender.

The Humber Violence Prevention Partnership (VPP) is a Home Office-funded Violence Reduction Unit (VRU). VRUs exist to lead and co-ordinate the local response to preventing and reducing serious violence utilising a public health approach to work with local partners. 

The Humber VPP is seeking an experienced provider to support the development of a pilot programme of 'Relationship Violence Prevention' for young people.
The key deliverables of this tender will be support to:
•	develop, test and refine a programme for Relationship Violence Prevention education
•	co-produce and design content and lesson plans with school staff and young people
•	develop materials and approaches for schools and their leadership teams to embed RVP learning
•	establish a peer network within schools, amongst PSHE teachers to provide ongoing, peer-to-peer support and learning
•	develop approaches and materials to support those displaying controlling tendencies

This work will be carried out:
•	in collaboration with key education, health and justice partners
•	within (at least) four secondary schools across the Humber; one in each of the following local authority areas
•	for school years 8 to 10 (ages 12 - 15 years) 

Following a pilot phase of delivery to pupils (which may be led by school staff and/or  the provider's staff), the materials produced will be refined as necessary and packaged into a toolkit for dissemination and wider use by schools.

The supplier should:
•	have expertise in relation to the subject of healthy relationships between young people of secondary school age
•	have experience of co-production with teachers and young people
