Notice Title

A bespoke programme to train young people within the Criminal Justice system

Notice Description

The project will initially run 11 StreetDoctors Stepwise programmes which will support young people affected by violence and train them in life saving skills, social skills development, improved self-confidence, communication skills, and inspire them to engage in social action. The programmes will be run with 6 lead community partners who will support the recruitment and engagement of the young people. The StepWise programme, focuses on youth engagement and is run through 10 sessions which includes: Understanding their communities needs, StreetDoctors' core bleeding and knocked out training sessions, a nationally recognised First Aid qualification, a mental health & emotional wellbeing session, peer education & facilitation training, a specialist session for career development and the planning/ delivery of the social action element (including the training of other young people). Upon completion of the programme, a cohort of young people will be selected from the Stepwise programmes to gain further training to become community educators, whilst becoming inspiring young community leaders and role models. The community educators will continue their training through StreetDoctors externally accredited training programme and will be mentored through a personalised personal development plan to support their leadership skills. Through the next 12 weeks the young leaders will gain greater understanding of their community needs, co-design and deliver training to other young people at schools, community centres and youth clubs, whilst gaining skills for employability in youth work and health care. The programme will be evaluated by StreetDoctors and used to support further development and delivery in other Criminal Justice settings including Custody. At all times throughout delivery, Streetdoctors will employ use of the app created by Streetdoctors co-commissioned by GM & Merseyside VRUs to aid delivery.
