The Scottish Government is funding a new service to help young people across the country who have experienced criminal activity.
It comes as the Record's Our Kids ... Our Future campaign demands a nation-wide crackdown on youth violence after a sickening spate of brutal attacks on teens. We have been calling on the Scottish Government to ring-fence funding for youth resources while we continue to challenge social media giants to remove harmful online content prior to the point of circulation.
The programme, called SAFE Service, will give young people and their families access to free care and guidance. Kibble, a care provider for children and young people in Scotland, has been appointed as the facilitator of the initiative, which will be run by a team of psychologists and psychotherapists who will support victims and witnesses.
