Out of
the Shadows has teamed up with Pearson publishers of London to create unique online
training for Staff and young people to gain an understanding of street gangs.
Understanding Street Gangs
Understanding Street Gangs
is a short course helping teachers and adults working with children to
understand gang culture and exploitation, particularly child sexual
exploitation (CSE).
Gangs thrive on secrecy, and Understanding Street Gangs aims to break some of the barriers so that adults can protect and support children and young people. This
resource provides information about the language used, the structure of
gangs, the activities they partake in and warning signs that indicate a
young person may be at risk.
Understanding Street Gangs has
advice about safeguarding procedures and resources to help identify
young people at risk. It also provides links to useful websites and
reading material.
