The specification is about making sure the community design, commission and support the delivery of services and projects that will reduce serious youth violence by seeking to address inequalitiies in health, education, housing, changing negative interactions and sterotypes and promoting aspirations for young people.

The local authority wants to work with the community to equally involve people in developing and assesing its efficacy.

The Provider Partnership will also be required to facilitate ongoing engagement and opportunities to co-produce and collaborate.
