ACC call for proposals to develop child sexual abuse prevention resources

The RFP 25480636 from ACC is inviting proposals to develop prevention resources.

The closing date to submit a proposal is 13 April 2022.

According to the RFP, the ACC Board approved significant investment in a primary prevention system working towards achieving the outcomes of the Healthy Consensual Relationships / Oranga Whakapapa programme of work. It further notes that ACC has set a budget of up to $550,000 to be put towards this investment.

Specifically, the RFP states that ACC is seeking organisations to collaborate to:

"• Develop child sexual abuse prevention resources, tools, communications, mechanisms and approaches that are culturally relevant and responsive to communities and their diverse realities, for example: Pacific peoples, rainbow, disability and new migrants.

• Develop tools, resources, and approaches that can withstand the limitations and requirements of a COVID-19 environment.

• Better understand how we can support communities to strengthen their own capacity and determine their own approaches to prevent child sexual abuse.

• Walk alongside a community and support their innovation and learning, as opposed to imposing/supplying worldviews, paradigms, and pre-existing strategies that are neither appropriate nor relevant.

• Work collaboratively with us to help us learn about and document what works for communities and capture this learning to strengthen our broader primary prevention programme of work."
