Vulnerable young people who are exploited or manipulated into committing crimes are victims in need of safeguarding and support. Whilst interventions for these are increasingly more available, young people are still often criminalised and regarded as having ‘made a choice’ to take part in illegal activity. This unique 1 day training looks at young people’s involvement in gangs and the exploitation of vulnerable children by organised crime in a gang context.
Who is this training for?
This training is a must for any professional working with children or young people and their families, parents or carers. It’s suitable for various settings and either group or 1:1 dynamics.
