Details

Guidance on good practice to ensure that partners in the third sector, local government, youth offending teams, law enforcement and education are providing the most effective interventions.

The toolkit has been designed in consultation with law enforcement and partners who work with young people to help them target and deliver the most effective interventions to people involved in or at risk of becoming involved in SOC offending, with a view to reducing the harm and costs of SOC.

It includes guidance on understanding:

• the SOC threat in an area
• how to identify people at risk of involvement in SOC
• how to engage effectively with those people
• the type of activity that can be effective in diverting them from involvement in SOC
• exit strategies and support for those people once an intervention comes to an end
