This month it was great to see two Pilot Study Evaluation Protocols that we have been working on published by Youth Endowment Fund (YEF). These protocols relate to two innovative projects rooted in evidence that YEF are funding. They outline how we are conducting Pilot Randomised Control Trials (RCTs) and implementation and process evaluations with Nottinghamshire Violence Reduction Unit’s Divert Plus programme Salford Foundation’s STEER programme.

Both initiatives focus on providing critical additional support to young people who become, or are at risk of becoming, involved in serious youth violence. Cordis Bright enjoyed working collaboratively with Nottinghamshire’s Violence Reduction Unit and the Salford Foundation, respectively, and the Youth Endowment Fund to produce these protocols.
