Description
Gangs are intertwined with youth violence and criminality. It is essential we recognise the extent of the problem and understand how to safeguard our at-risk youth.
This online course contains three modules which give you a very clear picture of the state of the UK today.
The course aims to help anyone who works with adults or children to recognise the signs that someone is in a gang or may be involved in youth violence.
It is especially helpful for front line workers within the community, education, and in the targeted youth support services.
