Core Funded Programmes Impact Evaluation - AWARD

The VRU is looking to appoint an evaluation partner to conduct an impact evaluation of the VRU Core Programmes. These programmes are: 'Tackle It' programme with Leeds Rhino's Foundation, based at HMP Wealstun Gangs and Violence Reduction programme at HMP Leeds with Catch22 Custody Diversion programme with St Giles Trust Police control room IDVA with Leeds Domestic Violence Service HMYOI Wetherby Violence Reduction programme The proposed evaluation will advance our formative understanding of the impacts of the VRU Core Programmes, improving future implementation and delivery of these ongoing projects. The proposed impact evaluation will also improve our summative understanding of the VRU Core Programmes identifying 'what works' in the West Yorkshire context, as well as establishing what would be required to scale up or replicate the intervention into other areas of West Yorkshire and beyond, given our diverse communities and populations.
