Mentoring in Hospital & Police

Tender description

For the delivery of mentoring (hospitals and police pathway) within Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire. These services are being commissioned by the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Violence Reduction Partnership (NNVRP) - part of the Nottinghamshire Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC). The objective is to support children and young people (CYP) who may be at risk of involvement in serious violence with improved mental health and wellbeing and improved behaviours, thus reducing the risk factors associated with violent crime and helping to build community resilience. This approach draws on the Accident and Emergency (A&E) and Police Custody Navigator model which has been rated by the Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) as having a potentially high impact on serious violence. The service will be based in the community but will pro-actively reach and engage with children in several settings including custody suites (Nottingham City and Mansfield) and Hospital (Nottingham Queens Medical Centre ) as well as take referrals from these sites and from other partners as agreed with the commissioner. Through engaging and working with children most vulnerable to violence, the service will make a tangible contribution to preventing and reducing serious violence affecting those under 18-years-old in our area. ## Contract award Title: Mentoring in Hospital & Police
