  3. What the Project aimed to do • Joint responses between Youth Direction Staff and ASB Teams to identified ASB Hotspots • Promote the Youth Direction offer in the designated area • Add value to existing diversionary programmes • Play a central part in developing an area based responsive Youth Direction offer • Build on the range of joint targeted initiatives such as SAFE (Stockton Activities For Everyone) October/November programme, reparation activity, Prison Me No Way Programme, school and community based ASB programmes 3 10/9/2014

  4. The Need For the Project • Areas identified by Strategic ASB/Criminal Damage group as needing additional activity within the limitations of budgets • The project has the scope to be responsive to ongoing issues raised at JAGs • The project builds on the existing good practice of targeting young people using Police/ASB intelligence to highlight priorities

  5. How the Project works • Pilot project began in January for 4 weeks • Patrols were set up in agreed areas initially Billingham Town Centre/Newtown area • Within 2 weeks Thornaby deemed as a higher priority • Patrols link to exiting youth activity • ASB staff lead when pairs of workers go out • ASB staff bring live intelligence to sessions • ASB staff step out of their normal role to engage young people informally using youth work approach • If any live issues occur during patrols a response will be called in but not delivered by ASB team member of the patrol

  6. Challenges • ASB staff out of comfort zone with different working practice • Perceptions of young people • ‘Never the Twain’ youth staff challenging their perceptions of the role of ASB staff

  7. Impact /Outcomes • More effective use of resources • Contribution to Operation Bolt in Billingham • Effective responses to JAG issues in hotspots • Information sharing improved between partners • Positive relationships between partners • Myth busting i.e. all youth staff do fluffy stuff, ASB staff are only about enforcement

  8. Success • Stronger partnership working • Supporting the development of a tiered approach with targeted young people • Contributing to delivery of Thornaby ASB partnership project at the Youthy • Integral to the delivery of activity in The Hub/Billingham • Flexible model that will transfer to other ASB hotspots
