Headstart - Evaluation of Headstart Phase 3 development and decision making progress

Tender description

The Fund is wishing to procure a 5-month contract to evaluate its HeadStart phase 3 development and decision-making process. The Headstart programme aims to improve the mental well-being of at-risk 10 to 16 year-olds by investing up to £75m in up to 12 local partnerships to facilitate and support: • the implementation of a locally developed, cross-disciplinary, multi-layered and integrated prevention strategy, with the young person and their needs at its core • the development of the necessary local conditions to enable that strategy to become sustainable in time • the development of a more robust evidence-base around ‘what works’ in the area of mental well-being to be pro-actively shared beyond HS with the aim of contributing to the local and national policy debate
