Vetz update, youth intervention work

Vetz will be starting a month long youth intervention project in February with the Warrington wolves rugby clubs community group-The wolves foundation.

The idea is to get out in the local community and engage teh local youth in positive activities like art,street dance and various sports.

A write up on the basics of intervention work and its benefits-

Youth intervention officers work with our neighbourhood policing teams to implementing our youth strategy, and support our partner agencies to implement the 'Every Child Matters' agenda.

The 'Every Child Matters' agenda recognises that children and young people have the right to:

Be healthy

Stay safe

Enjoy and achieve

Make a positive contribution, and;

Achieve economic well being

Our youth intervention officers work with young people as influential members of local communities and also support young people who have become victims of crime as well as working with those who may be at risk of offending or re-offending or those who may be taking part in anti-social behaviour.

Youth interventions officers play a part in teaching subjects, on a needs-led basis, which are part of the school curriculum supporting 'Personal', 'Social', 'Health', 'Citizenship' and 'Economics'. They talk to young people about personal safety, substance use and misuse.

Youth intervention officers also take part in the following police activities:

working jointly with the Education Welfare Service to prevent truancy

working with children, young people and schools as part of the community consultation process

providing initial response, support, advice and guidance on drug-related incidents in schools

monitoring all incidents occurring on school premises and work with partners to solve problems such as damage

encouraging young people to take an active role in reducing crime within their communities through initiatives such as Crimebeat

supporting youth organisations and groups involved in empowering young people and developing social skills, for example the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, Prince’s Trust and Youth Councils

working in partnership with other organisations to address issues concerning young people, particularly local initiatives developed with the Children’s Fund

working with workers from the youth advice service - Connexions, in schools to assist young people within the 13-19 age group who may be at risk of becoming involved with anti-social behaviour or other offences

Graff Wars

A long time ago in a galaxy far away... ok ok, in 2010 Kontur released a book called "Graff Wars: Graffiti inspired by the Star Wars Universe" Dime One and Vetz did this piece which was included in the book. You can purchase the book here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Graff-Wars-Graffiti-Inspired-Universe/dp/8293053038/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323712151&sr=8-1
