youth work/ case work teams are based within the hospital and provide crisis support to

young people aged 11 - 25 presenting at the hospitals as victims (or suspected / potential

victims) of violence. The Hospital Based Youth Work programme is a high profile, high value

service commissioned by the VRU and we are investing significantly in improving the

evidence base for this work.

The VRU is seeking to commission an external Provider to undertake a detailed process and

partners at strategic and operational levels.
