The successful Bidder will be awarded a 12-month contract valued at approximately £60,000 exc. VAT and full details will be included in the tender documentation which will follow in Spring 2025. The proposed project will use creative and participatory methods to generate qualitative data on how diverse groups of primary school-aged children understand how gender and sexual power relations shape their everyday peer cultures in school, in their community and online. The project needs to address the lack of knowledge about children’s experiences of gender-based and sexual bullying and harassment in the context of their everyday lives and enable the children’s own views and experiences to inform and shape future research, policies and practice. The core aim of the research contract is to explore address the lack of knowledge primary age children’s experiences of gender-based and sexual bullying and harassment in the context of their everyday lives. These findings will inform practitioners and policy makers to fully support children’s own understanding and experiences of why they feel the way they do, what it means for the way they act, and how things can change. The project will fulfil the Welsh Government’s commitment in the ‘Peer-on-peer sexual harassment in education settings’ - [gov.wales](https://www.gov.wales/peer-peer-sexual-harassment-education-settings-action-plan) Action plan - We will consider what research is needed to understand instances of peer-on-peer sexual harassment among primary school-aged children, drawing on the expertise and guidance of academics, children’s charities and the Children’s Commissioner for Wales as appropriate. The successful bidder will collect the views of primary-aged children across north, south, and mid-Wales. The sample will ensure the inclusion of children from a diverse mix of cultural and socio-economic backgrounds, covering urban, suburban, and semi-rural areas, and economically prosperous and disadvantaged communities.
