The aim of the project is to develop our understanding of how schools are interacting with the offer, using our findings to identify potential refinements to the delivery model. The evaluation will investigate facilitators and challenges to delivery, including any financial issues. The evaluation will also look at how schools are experiencing the implementation of the offer and whether processes are operating as intended. **Please note: Deadline for submissions of EoI is: 3pm 23/07/2019**
