Some of the programmes the partnership will be commissioning in the first year include:
Sports programmes and other positive activities to prevent young people from being drawn into crime.
Proactive engagement with young people where they gather in groups to signpost them to support and positive activities.
Mental health support aimed at children and young people displaying disruptive and risky behaviours, to avoid them escalating.
Targeted campaigns to raise public awareness of issues linked to serious violence.
Training for delivery partners to ensure their activities are trauma-informed and do not re-traumatise young people who have had previous adverse experiences.
Social skills training for children of primary school age to encourage positive behavioural outcomes.
Programmes for young people on the verge of entering the criminal justice system who require intensive support to change their harmful behaviours.
