• Advise and review YEF plans to work with smaller organisations to conduct rigorous evaluations of common practices utilized to prevent young people from getting caught up in crime. This will include developing action plans for how YEF can specifically engage BAME-led organisations in the execution of these types of funding rounds.

• Identify other levers for change that may be possible in YEF’s grant-making and evaluation practices to ensure a racially diverse and equitable programme, including setting out recommended next steps.
