The Police & Crime Commissioner for Thames Valley is seeking to utilise up to £60,000 per annum of his Crime Prevention Fund to see behavioural interventions delivered in schools.

This is an invitation for a single quote to deliver interventions into schools over a three year period (with option to extend).

Background

The Office of the PCC has seen the value of working not just with schools, but in schools. We are keen to support teachers to have the tools to have rich and effective conversations with their classes, as capable guardians of the students in their care. We want to help build capacity and capability within the education sector

The focus of our interest is in how young people from Year 5 (aged 9-10 years) through to Year 8 (aged 12-13 years) understand the value and power of relationships (peers, adults, family and people less familiar to them). We also recognise the importance of letting young people investigate the impact of these relationships on their behaviour, their social and emotional skills and their life outcomes. Research has revealed that young people are battling relationship challenges such as reduced family time, less consistent positive support networks and role models (due to influential figures often being virtual) and a safe environment (digital and real) to explore and navigate things like adolescence, resilience and risk.

The subject areas we are interested in are exploitation (such as county lines involvement and related violence) and violence against women and girls (VAWG).
