Psychology Services

West Midlands Violence Reduction Partnership are seeking to extend and develop new projects with a psychology services partner. To ensure continuity and resilience, we are seeking services from a team of psychologists rather than independent practitioners or a consortium approach which would provide the same assurance.

The provider(s) will work with WM VRP to agree a delivery plan for 11 months (up to the end of March 2027), which will include the following activity: Delivering consultations, case formulations, clinical supervision and incident response. Delivering psychological advice, formulation and guidance to inform service development and intervention planning and evaluation.

Developing psychologically informed toolkits, resources and practitioner guidance to support individuals and partnerships responsible for preventing and reducing violence across the region. Delivering workforce development training to embed evidence-based, psychologically informed best practice across the children and young people's workforce.

Delivering specialist evidence-based, formulation driven psychological interventions, as required to meet the needs of new projects. Having the capacity to deliver NICE compliant, trauma-informed neurodevelopmental psychological assessments. Where required, physically embedding a psychologist in teams delivering interventions to high risk children and young people.
