After a competitive tender process the VRU appointed a consortium of two charitable organisations to deliver this programme: Tender Education and Arts and Nurtureuk. It is being delivered in 70 schools across seven London Boroughs: Barking and Dagenham, Croydon, Enfield, Greenwich, Hackney, Hammersmith and Fulham, and Islington. The innovative aspect of the INS programme is in the joining up of nurture approaches and high-quality healthy relationships education. All 70 schools will receive both strands of the INS programme over the programme period and the anticipation is that increased awareness and changing practice within the schools will result in a reduction in school suspensions and exclusions.
