Description

-The impact of the model across three areas;
The young people themselves,
The VRU's work and decision-making and;
Wider stakeholders and sectors to understand how YPAG has contributed to the violence reduction agenda.

-Drawing together the learning to support the development of the existing YPAG framework for the VRU .

-Highlighting key learning and enable the VRU to share this with the wider sector and organisations looking to develop similar models.

The Learning Partner will design and deliver a high-quality research project that:
-Upskills Young People in peer research methods
-Identifies successes and challenges of the VRU's Youth Participation programme
-Creates outputs to share learning .

Given the unique nature of the YPAG, the VRU encourages the Learning Partner to use youth participatory approaches to upskill the YPAG and Wider Voices, and to co-design the evaluation model and learning outputs. The VRU encourages the Learning Partner to use a range of innovative and creative evaluation methods with young people at the centre, such as case studies, multi-media content and written reports. The Learning Partner will also need to work in close collaboration with the YPAG's parents/carers and the VRU's Youth & Communities team to develop and deliver a suitable evaluation model for this programme, including ensuring the monitoring plan will adequately support and inform evaluation.
