Two weeks ago I started a new job, working with young people who are being exploited or at risk of being dragged into county-lines activities. The problem is becoming more prevalent in schools, colleges and pupil referral units (PRU) – children are doing it to other children now.
I feel I can help in a positive way. And although I was hoping for a permanent job with holiday pay, this is an ongoing contract initially for three months. But the pay is better than my last job and I’m starting to plan for the future.
