Helping Hand digital tool (360G-CR-4926130)

Helping Hand digital tool is a progressive web application (both as website & app) that will support children & young people who have experienced domestic abuse with managing their trauma & mental health. The tool is designed with & for these children so that it is tailored to their needs. We would use the grant to build a working prototype & pilot it. Our digital tool will provide children with trauma informed interactive support designed to support them in the long term around their mental health & wellbeing. This part of the project aims to convert our existing wireframe prototype into a working product that can be piloted in real life settings & prepare the tool for national roll out. The main output of this project is the development of the Beta version of the tool from the wireframe prototype. We identified 3 key elements of digital infrastructure that need to be built: >Frontend of the tool for Children (already designed through wireframes) >?Trust adult? portal & organisational portal to administer the use of the tool safely to children >Easy to use developer backend for AVA to manage the tool Activities to be carried out: >Develop the first iteration from the co-produced wireframe prototype >Undertake 2-3 development sprints to build digital infrastructure for the tool >Conduct co-production workshops to develop & design content of the tool (inc videos, scripts, graphics) >Create all the content >Conduct user testing with both children & professionals We want to test this working tool in real-life settings via a beta trial with 5-10 organisations supporting children. This will enable us to collect data on how the tool is used in real life settings & adjust the tool accordingly to the needs of both children & professionals. This approach will also help get buy-in from the wider sector. We will conduct the following: Recruit & brief 5-10 beta sites Develop training & resources for professionals on how to use the tool & ensure safeguarding Collect & analyse sites feedback & analytics data to inform final stage of tool development.
