STREET TEAMS 

Street Teams operates Keep Safe, a multi-faceted prevention programme involving community outreach work, workshops and alternative learning schemes, education and training programmes with schools, education and health professionals, and specialist work with gangs, boys, and other young people deemed at high risk. Street Teams is part of a network of specialist national and regional agencies tackling the sexual exploitation of children in the UK. Street Teams works alongside the National Working Group for Sexually Exploited Children and Young People, as well as being a member of local and regional strategic CSE, missing and trafficking groups. Our work is underpinned by the Principles for Effective Practice set out in the regional See Me Hear Me Framework.
