First pilot outside of London to break 'destructive cycle' between young people and crime launched in Tameside
He is one of the co-founders of SHiFT, a national charity which is aiming to break the ‘destructive cycle’ between young people and crime, drugs, violence and exploitation.
Josh describes a story of a guide in London, who obtained a spare set of house keys in order to reach their charge when they wouldn’t answer the door and persuade them to attend an appeal against a college expulsion – which they won.“Often if you’re a teacher it’s about getting that kid in school, if you’re a social worker it’s about making sure that child might have a good relationship at home and if you’re the police it’s making sure they stay out of crime,” he says.
“They can have that really intensive relationship, seeing those young people everyday, being with them at the moment where they’re at their lowest ebb or their greatest risk and sticking with them relentlessly to bring about positive change,” Josh says. “That complexity is part of what conventional traditional services struggle to respond to. Drug related, youth violence – incidents of violence of peer on peer abuse but certainly drugs is a big part of the profile. It’s all connected.
They often share common personal histories – children who grew up witnessing domestic violence, being placed on a child protection plan, having been excluded from school or going missing. “That’s a big part of the initial process but our mantra is do whatever it takes and that means there is never an excuse of saying, the young person’s not engaging – it’s that we have failed to have engaged them.”
