Tameside will become the first borough outside London to work with a charity to help vulnerable youngsters who ‘keep professionals awake at night’ out of a life of crime.
The borough’s executive cabinet has agreed to enter into a partnership with SHiFT, a national charity which aims to improve the chances for young people who are involved or at risk of becoming involved in criminal behaviour.
It will provide training and guidance for staff working in the Tameside Pupil Referral Unit, specifically helping 27 young residents who have been identified by a range of local professionals as being the most vulnerable.
