This fund helps to prevent children and young people from becoming involved in violence and crime. The ‘Testing for impact grant’ is to learn about the effectiveness of different approaches of prevention.
This Testing for impact grant is an open round specifically for projects that demonstrate it can reach and support a large enough group of children to undertake a large-scale evaluation.
The funders are looking to fund and evaluate projects that are delivered in either England and/or Wales and fit within one of the eight focus areas:
- Diversion – how do we best support arrested children to prevent them becoming involved in violence?
- Education – what should happen in schools, colleges and alternative provision to prevent children becoming involved in violence?
- Family support – how do we best support families facing challenges to help them create a safe, loving environment at home?
- Neighbourhood – how do we reduce crime and violence in specific neighbourhoods?
- Policing – how does policing best prevent violence – including through working with other organisations where the police are not the lead?
- Positive activities – how do we use constructive activities, like sport, drama and employment, to prevent children becoming involved in violence?
- Therapies – how do we use therapy to keep children safe from becoming involved in violence?
- Trusted adults – how can a trusted adult outside the family help keep a child safe from becoming involved in violence?
