19/02/2020 - Grant funding of Barnardo’s ROUTES project: a project that works with children and young people involved in or at risk of serious harm from Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE) ref: 742 Recommendations Approved
This work will deliver priority interventions
with young people at risk of and victim to criminal exploitation
and abuse, particularly those involved in gangs and serious
violence. This will contribute to harm reduction and safer
neighbourhoods, as well as improving the life chances of the
children themselves.
Benefits to the City include:
1.BAME children and white children experiencing poverty are most at
risk of CCE. This project will help to redress the balance and make
Bristol a city where equality of outcome is not just possible but
expected for all our children.
2.There will be benefits for health, as the project’s focus
on self-empowerment enables children to make healthy choices and
reject drugs and crime.
Outcomes from this work are not just short term but provide the
basis for sustainable positive relationships and community action
into the future.
Decision Maker: Director: Children, Families & Safer Communities
Decision published: 24/02/2020
Effective from: 19/02/2020
Decision:
A grant will be made to Barnardo’s
ROUTES, a project working with children involved in or at risk of
serious harm from Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE) established
with Home Office funding in 2019. The grant funding will be for one
year, from 1st April 2020 to 31st March 2021.
Barnardo’s provide an early intervention and prevention
service, targeting vulnerable children and young people mostly
living in East Central Bristol. ROUTES tackles the root causes of
serious violence and criminal exploitation by improving resilience
and safety through:
•Direct interventions for individual children/young people to
prevent crime and support with evidence led prosecutions of
perpetrators targeting children
•Support to strengthen the family system as a protective
resource
•Involve and educate communities, improving identification and
prevention
Children as young as 12 are exploited across county lines, often
due to complex vulnerability: homelessness, poverty, being in-care
(The Children’s Society, 2018). This service work directly
with children, young people and their families to:
•overcome adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), increasing
personal resilience, decreasing likelihood of participating in
crime
•use effective risk management strategies to disengage safely
from serious offending
In Bristol, drug-related offending is significant and linked with
this serious violence to which young people are both victim and, at
times, perpetrator has risen. There are different models of CCE
across neighbourhoods that ROUTES aims to address.
This work aligns with the Corporate Strategy via the following
themes:
1.Empowering and Caring: This project aims to prevent child
criminal exploitation and prioritise community development.
2.Wellbeing: This project aims to improve the bio psychosocial
health of some of our most vulnerable children, by providing
diversionary activities, building trusted relationships and
offering an alternative to crime.
