Tender: Sutton Youth Outreach & Diversion – Youth Workers to Improve Children's Safety in Public Spaces (MOPAC-funded to 31 Mar 2029)

About

Sutton Youth Outreach & Diversion project is seeking a supplier to provide youth workers to intervene with children in community public spaces and offer reassurance to improve children's feelings of safety across Sutton. The project, funded by MOPAC via the London Crime Prevention Fund until 31 March 2029, will target locations where children report feeling unsafe (for example high streets, parks and transport hubs) and areas with increased rates of youth antisocial behaviour or offending; locations will be identified through a monthly Problem Solving Meeting using intelligence shared by the Police and partner insights (such as the borough's Multi Agency Child Exploitation Panel), and a reactive response will be offered following serious incidents in the borough. The budget for this project is between £35,000 and £40,000 maximum.
