Safe Choices – Leaving Care and Leaving Custody Project

This exciting new project sits under the Safe Choices Programme umbrella and aims to work with the most vulnerable young women who are leaving custody or leaving care. This partnership project brings together the expertise of The Children’s Society and nia to work in all London boroughs with young women leaving custody and 6 London boroughs per year with young women leaving care. This project is funded by the Big Lottery Youth in Focus programme until 2016.

nia will employ one Project Worker and one Sessional Worker (7 hours per week) to lead the work with young women in the boroughs north of the river Thames. The Project Worker is responsible for the development and delivery of all young women’s work and co-delivery group work with the Sessional Worker. You’ll also develop and deliver training to professionals. You’ll have significant experience of working with vulnerable young people leaving care and leaving custody and of serious youth violence, including gangs and sexual violence.
