VRU Difference Matters Programme Evaluation and Learning Partner

Published
Published 17 October 2025

Overview

Difference Matters Programme is a new initiative that aims to improve the experiences of ND pupils in mainstream secondary schools in order to reduce disproportional exclusions, absence and suspensions, tackling the over-representation of young people with unmet special needs in Alternative Provision (AP), Pupil Referral Units (PRU) and Youth Offending Institutions (YOI). The programme will champion asset-based approaches, empowering ND pupils; improving understanding of their needs; raising awareness of neurodiversity; and making schools more inclusive environments. The commissioning of an Evaluation & Learning Partner is integral for the VRU to understand the implementation and key learning from the Difference Matters programme. The provider will need to work with participating schools, local authorities, training / service providers and the VRU to evaluate this programme successfully To view this notice, please click here: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/viewNotice.html?noticeId=968019590
