Partners to Pilot Young People’s Work
Want to be involved in the development of targeted group / individual work on young people’s abuse in relationships?
RESPECT (The UK association for domestic violence perpetrator programmes and linked support services) has recently started a Young People’s Services Project with three years funding from Comic Relief and the DCSF Children and Young Peoples Fund. The project will develop a toolkit for those working with the 13-19 year olds around their violence in relationships.
The project will run in three over-lapping phases:
- Development Phase – relevant research and practice synthesised to produce a service model and materials for work targeted at 13-19 year olds who are using violence and abuse in relationships.
- Pilot Phase – the above will then be piloted, evaluated and revised.
- Dissemination Phase – training for regions with the rollout of training package and toolkit and a national conference.
The Young People’s Services Development Project is currently seeking UK partners to pilot a toolkit for working with teenagers on their relationship violence and abuse between March 2009 and September 2010. They now inviting projects to tender for this work. They can contribute 75% of costs up to a maximum of £14,000 per pilot.
