The West Yorkshire Violence Reduction Partnership (VRP) are seeking to commission delivery partners to provide a new targeted Social Skills programme in West Yorkshire.
Social skills programmes (Social and Emotional Learning - Targeted as described by the Youth Endowment Fund) aim to develop positive behaviours, including children and young people’s ability to exercise self-control, to understand and respond appropriately to their emotions, and to understand things from other people’s perspectives. A key tenet of social skills programmes is the use of interactive activities, including role play, behavioural rehearsal, mindfulness and storytelling.

We strongly recommend you read the supporting information documents before submitting the EOI.
