## Notice

The University of Sheffield is out to tender on behalf of the School of Law for Game development project funded by the European Research Council. Scope of Requirement: The project aims to improve the legal capability of children and young people (CYP) aged 3-15 years, by working with groups of CYP to create a range of digital and physical game-based learning resources ('learning games') which are designed to improve their legal knowledge, skills and confidence. These learning games will empower and enable CYP who are at risk to enforce their legal rights independently; so increasing the likelihood of them accessing support and securing protection from harm. As well as targeting CYP at risk, the project seeks to strengthen all CYPs' capability to deal effectively with the many law-related issues that they encounter in their day to day lives. Details of the project specification can be found in the ITT document. Tender Process and Documentation: This is an open procedure. The ITT can be downloaded by registering and expressing your interest on the University's e-tendering system https://in-tendhost.co.uk/Sheffield.
