Issue details

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.
