[To approve the establishment of a specialist multiagency team to work with adolescents who are at risk]

That the proposal to establish a specialist multiagency team to work with adolescents who are at risk be approved.

Councillor Paul Sweet presented the report on a proposal to establish a specialist multiagency team to work with at-risk adolescents. Evidence of need and research evidence indicated that there was a need to develop more focused, integrated and flexible services to work with at-risk adolescents, in order to prevent negative outcomes such as engagement in risky behaviours, exposure to exploitation, and to help young people to remain safe with their families.

Resolved:

That the proposal to establish a specialist multiagency team to work with adolescents who are at risk be approved.
