This procurement falls under the education and training services category, with an engagement end date set for 12 November 2019. The buyer is located in Westminster, London, and is seeking to engage with providers that can deliver interactive training sessions for 50 to 70 participants, emphasising practical case studies and unique insights around the subject matter. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in training services, particularly those with expertise in autism, radicalisation, and safeguarding. Companies that can offer tailored training solutions and possess a strong understanding of current statutory requirements, including the Prevent duty, are well-suited to compete. Organisations with experience in delivering interactive educational programs will likely find this opportunity beneficial for expanding their reach within the public sector and enhancing their reputation in this crucial area of safeguarding children and young people. ## Notice We require a training provider who can demonstrate expertise in autism, radicalisation and extremism, as well as, a sound understanding of current statutory requirements around safeguarding, including the Prevent duty. You would need to provide a practical and interactive training package, including case examples to meet the following outcomes: 1. Improve understanding of how processing and communication differences in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may make someone vulnerable to radicalisation 2. Improve understanding of how individuals on the autistic spectrum may present radicalisation safeguarding concerns differently 3. Improve confidence in how to safeguard children and young people on the autistic spectrum from radicalisation The training will be aimed at practitioners who support the safeguarding of children and young people from radicalisation and extremism and overall Prevent duty implementation in schools, further and higher education institutions. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES: We require a bespoke training package on safeguarding children and young people on the autistic spectrum from radicalisation to be delivered to 50-70 delegates. The delegates have a good understanding of how autism presents itself in individuals, safeguarding in neurotypical children and young people, as well as, radicalisation and extremism risks and threats to individuals. This training would therefore need to encourage delegates to understand the relationship between radicalisation and individuals on the autistic spectrum. Expected outcomes: 1. Improve understanding of how processing and communication differences in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may make someone vulnerable to radicalisation 2. Improve understanding of how individuals on the autistic spectrum may present radicalisation/extremism safeguarding concerns differently 3. Improve confidence in how to safeguard children and young people on the autistic spectrum from radicalisation ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Number of participants: 50-70 Length: 3 hours Style of Training: The DfE requires training to be as practical and interactive as possible. The delegates in receipt of this training have indicated that case studies and tangible resources are most beneficial.
