Description

To enable the Home Office to determine the market's interest, capability and capacity to deliver an evidence-based prevention and intervention programme through schools and Pupil Referral Units (PRUs) in England, to equip at-risk young people with the resilience to live a life free from drugs, drug-related crime and risky behaviour. The Home Office is seeking opinions from interested organisations via this pre-market engagement to validate the Home Office approach to an evidence-based pilot that will deliver this 12-month programme. The questionnaire takes the form of a series of questions relating to preventions and interventions designed to equip young people with the specific skills, resilience and resources needed to critically address risky behaviour and develop a core set of values that enable them to make the right decisions to avoid drug misuse. Responses will enable the Home Office to refine its approach before formally commencing an open competition currently scheduled for September - October 2018.
Deadlines for questionnaire submissions is 14:00 on Thursday 09 August 2018. All submissions must be in English and free from virus. All questionnaires must be sent to the Authority's designated email address of DrugStrategyGrant@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk by 14:00 on 09 August 2018.
