Over £17 million has already been allocated to projects delivering interventions to young people at risk of criminal involvement, gang exploitation and county lines.</p><p>The successful bids were announced in November 2018 and so it is too early to make an assessment of the Fund’s effectiveness and any accomplishments.</p><p>We will be appointing an independent evaluation partner who will support local partnerships with monitoring arrangements and will gather qualitative and quantitative data over the course of the project. This work will contribute to a programme wide evaluation, including an overview of what we have learnt about good practice. The projects will also be required to provide regular updates on their progress.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 26/02/2019 15:04:23 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
