To do that effectively, children and young people must be at the heart of our work-shaping, informing, and driving the strategies and interventions that affect them. Attendance at school is a known protective factor in relation to serious violence. The prevalence of severe absences, suspensions and exclusions is relatively well understood, with data and analysis included with the HVPP Strategic Needs Assessment (SNA ). In addition, other work in respect of 'Trauma informed practice' and the HU9 pilot has been undertaken in the region to increase attendance in school. The VPP is seeking to increase its understanding of children and young people who are defined as CME, EHE or NEET. This work would combine insight into the prevalence of CME, EHE and NEET cohorts (Quantitative) as well as understanding of their challenges (Qualitative). Furthermore, we are particularly keen to ensure that the voices we hear are representative of those children who are in this cohort, including those who have witnessed or experienced violence or abuse. The Humber Violence Prevention Partnership (HVPP) is seeking bids from suitably experienced organisations to provide a reliable and successful service for the activity described in Section 2 of the attached specification document. The value of this requirement is less than £28,500. It is essential to observe and comply with the following instructions in the preparation and submission of your response.
