## Description
Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council is looking to procure a Direct/Indirect Community Reparation and Unpaid Work Service. 
Children and Young People (CYP) who offend and made subject to an out of court or court disposal are systematically assessed, helped and directed to change their behaviour and encouraged to make amends to the victims of their crimes. One of the ways in which CYP can make amends is to carry out reparation either directly to the victim or, when this is not possible or practical, to the community as a whole. 
The aim of the Service is to offer CYP an opportunity to participate in restorative activity following the commission of an offence directly to their victim or to the wider community. The primary objectives of the Service will be to: 
• Enable young people to make amends to victims and/or their community. 
• Promote and model pro-social behaviours to support young people to avoid reoffending and integrate into the community. 
• Ensure that young people do not pose a risk to the public or themselves whilst participating in reparation/unpaid work sessions. 
• Enable young people to access effective programmes linking in with learning outcomes to improve their education, training and employment opportunities.
