The question they are aiming to answer through this grant round is which diversion approaches work best at preventing 10 to 17-year-olds from becoming involved in violence?
They are looking to fund projects that meet all of the following criteria:
- Your project supports children (aged 10 – 17 living in England and Wales) identified at one of four turning point moments before court action is taken for a crime
- Programmes that involve a referral by a relevant statutory body
- Programmes that have sufficient scale and evidence of impact to run a large-scale efficacy and/or effectiveness evaluation, through a randomised control trial or quasi-experimental design method.
- Or Programmes that require a pilot study, but that could be ready for an efficacy and/or effectiveness trial within two years
On 17 March 2021 at 10am the funders are running a webinar to explain what they are aiming to fund, the application , and how they will evaluate their funded project. Book onto the workshop here.
