Weapons' specialist support
Children and Teens in Nottingham
Knife Crime
The Knife Crime service offers children and teens who have witnessed domestic abuse involving a weapon specialist support around their experience.
This involves work around violence and trauma in a pro-active way whilst offering risk assessed, strength based, and needs led support. The service offers support alongside each child/young person ensuring an age appropriate response and liaising closely with appropriate agencies, to meet a range of needs. The worker will also advocate on behalf of the children and teens whilst encouraging young people to self-advocate, linking them to appropriate agencies and community-based support.
