Description

London’s Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) is pleased to make funding available for a Youth Voice Partner to support with the delivery of ‘Difference Matters’ (DM), a programme which aims to improve the experiences of neurodivergent (ND) pupils in mainstream schools in order to reduce disproportional exclusions, absence and suspensions, tackling the over-representation of young people with unmet special needs in Alternative Provision (AP), Pupil Referral Units (PRU) and Youth Offending Institutions (YOI). The programme will champion asset-based approaches, empowering ND pupils; improving understanding of their needs; raising awareness of neurodiversity; and making schools more inclusive environments.  The VRU recognises that the views and experiences of neurodivergent students are essential to understanding how schools can become more neuroinclusive. To ensure young people's voices are central to the Difference Matters programme, the VRU will commission a Youth Voice Partner. The commissioned partner will be responsible for developing a range of tools to support mainstream secondary schools in capturing and responding to student experiences of inclusion For more information about this opportunity, please visit the Delta eSourcing portal at: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-London:-Health-and-social-work-services./6S3P2C4NA8 To respond to this opportunity, please click here: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/6S3P2C4NA8
