Evaluation Mechanism:
Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT)
Description:
The Task: The current tender seeks an applicant to lead the development and piloting of an evidence informed youth mental health intervention for Irish secondary school aged young people. The intervention should be 8-10 weeks in duration (length to be determined in conjunction with the project working group), and be delivered by teachers and/or educators within the secondary school (or other) context. The successful applicant will:  Undertake a literature review which will identify the underpinning approaches which are best suited to targeting young peoples’ (age 12-16) mental health, with a particular focus on improving resilience and decreasing anxiety  Develop a targeted intervention, which may be delivered at whole class or small group level (delivery model to be agreed with the project advisory group)  Develop all accompanying materials, which may include a Train the Trainers Manual, teacher’s Handbook, student Workbook, Parents’ Information Pack, or other supplemental materials. Innovative approaches to materials, such as online resources or tools are welcome  Develop a training and ongoing reflective practice package for teachers wishing to facilitate the intervention in their classrooms  Prepare and submit for ethical approval to pilot the programme with 4 secondary schools in Tallaght, including development of relevant data collection tools and processes (e.g., consent forms, information sheets, online surveys)  Collect and analyse data from the pilot phase, amend materials to reflect this learning and submit a report with recommendations for next steps. The above processes should be underpinned by a commitment to the meaningful engagement of young people, parents and professionals, and a collaborative co-production approach.
