Answer
A multiagency approach to divert young people away from becoming involved in crime is pivotal. This includes partners that play a role in young people’s mental health. This is why the Government is creating the Young Futures Programme to identify young people at risk and the most effective interventions to support them.
These Young Futures Hubs will bring together services to help improve the way young people can access the support they need. We will be engaging with local communities, the police, charities, and other key partners to support the design of the hubs and explore options for their delivery.
