PCC DN - Carbon Creative Support with VRU Content

Decision Maker: Director for Safer and Stronger Communities

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The VRU is required to refresh the impact section of its website and produce an Annual Report, to be published online and shared with the Home Office, by 31st March each year. Under this commission, Carbon Creative will provide content and design support with the VRU’s 2024-25 Annual Report. Each year, with buy in from the Home Office, the VRU produces an engaging annual report that intends to engage the public via wider reliance on infographics than long sections of text. This decision allows the VRU to engage professional content creators to amplify the VRU annual report’s presence and online reach whilst fulfilling our obligations to the Home Office. The VRU can also reuse any infographics created across other project areas, maximising value for money. In addition, the report is built with interactive, intertextual links to other resources that those accessing the report online can access in real time.

Decision:

The GM VRU is seeking to award Carbon Creative £2,160.00 to provide infographics and design for the VRU’s 2024/25 annual report and website refresh.
