The outreach youth team work outside of normal office hours on evenings and weekends and target key hotspots where there are risks identified (e.g., ASB, Child Exploitation).
Youth workers go out ‘on foot’ and engage young people gathering in local parks, high streets and teen shelters providing positive conversations and activities as required by young people. Through this work, team members can offer advice and support, help young people explore their options for the future, inspire and support young people involved in risky behaviour, help young people explore their place in their community and empower them to be involved in the development of more provisions or activities for their age group.
