Notice Title

External Evaluation of Equalities Initiatives - Invitation to Tender

Notice Description

An evaluation of the Life Changes Trust's Empowerment Grants and Rights & Equalities initiatives to support care experienced young people.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Trust has invested in two initiatives which aim to improve understanding of the challenges faced by young people with care experience who may also face discrimination and marginalisation due to other factors including protected characteristics (as defined by the Equality Act 2010). These are Empowerment Grants and Rights & Equalities. Both initiatives predominantly, but not exclusively, focus on care experienced young people who: - are affected by protected characteristics (e.g. disability; sexual orientation; race; religion and belief; sex) - have experience of the youth justice system - are looked after at home - have experience of long-term health issues, including mental health - have experience of homelessness Both of these initiatives aim to support the young people involved to increase their confidence and skills, gain independence, exercise their rights, and use their voice to make changes, both in their own lives and in the broader care system. We are seeking dedicated, knowledgeable and creative evaluators who will examine the work of the Trust's Empowerment Grants and Rights & Equalities initiatives across Scotland. The primary goal of the evaluation is to measure the impact of the Trust's Equalities funding awards. In particular, we wish to examine the extent to which awards have had an impact on the young people involved in the following areas: - improving confidence and skills - improving awareness of the needs / aspirations of young people - increasing opportunities for young people to exercise their rights and use their voice We will also require an exploration of how the projects are having this impact, as well as the effectiveness of the 'small grants' approach in relation to the aims of this initiative.
