About the requirement

From the notice

Provision of Youth Digital Safety and Online Harms. PCC/PD/1347. MVRP intends to undertake preliminary market engagement to inform the potential development of a future commissioning opportunity relating to youth digital safety and online harms across Merseyside. The initial scope is to explore how a coordinated public health approach could support children and young people to be safe and well online and to have the confidence, agency and support to thrive in digital environments. The engagement will explore existing provision, strategic and practice gaps, workforce capability, prevention approaches, partnership models, evidence and evaluation, and the feasibility of future delivery options. Potential areas of focus include: (1) building system capability through workforce development, guidance, resources, communities of practice and evidence translation; and (2) local authority test-and-learn pilots to explore place-based approaches such as digital youth work, targeted prevention, safeguarding pathways and peer approaches. These are areas for exploration and are not a final specification or commitment to procure.[E6]
