Who Leap reaches

• Leap helps young people aged 11-25 to
  manage and reduce conflict in their lives to
  prevent it from escalating to violence.
• Leap works with young people whose lives are
  often chaotic and volatile to become role
  models and leaders of change within their
  communities.
• Leap targets areas with high levels of youth
  violence and crime
                                             3
Who Leap reaches
Challenges young people face today

Issues facing young people                    Scale
YP in criminal justice system                 2075 <18 in system; 10,369 18-20 (2011)

Gangs & territorialism                        70+ YP died in gangs; 170+ gangs in UK,
                                              (2008)
Racial conflict, gender & cultural identity

NEET and alternative education                938,000 16 to 24yr DWP (2011)

Bullying and poor school behaviour            69% children report bullying 87% parents
                                              report child bullied (2006)

England-wide riots                            1,566 suspects have now appeared in
                                              court, 21% were under 18 (2011)
Lack of emotional development

                                                                                         4
Leap’s recent track record

2009
• Awarded Charity of the Year at Charity Awards
2010
• After just one year, violent crime by gang members in
  Glasgow almost halved, after Leap training for adult
  support workers.
• 17 of 23 young offenders who took part in ‘Fear and
  Fashion’ programme stopped or reduced offending
  behaviour.
• After only four months of Leap training young people
  and practitioners, there were 53% fewer incidents of
  anti-social behaviour in Enfield.                       5
Leap’s recent track record

In 2011 our work has included
• developing a collaborative response to the riots
• sustained work in Chelmsford prison, the preliminary
   results of which have highlighted an increase in young
   people going into education, a decrease in assaults on
   staff, a reduction in the severity of incidents, a reduction
   in the use of segregation and 61% fewer adjudications
• work in Bexley schools on issues of identity and
   belonging, after which 91% of young people reported a
   positive change in perceptions of themselves, how they
   viewed others and how they responded to prejudice
                                                                  6
What is our work?

• Workshops use interactive exercises: group
  learning, role-play – simple models that help
  participants to understand their behaviour
• Training is relevant to their daily experience of
  conflict, and is engaging and challenging
• Training increases participants’ self-awareness,
  emotional intelligence and understanding of their
  range of choices
• We then provide opportunities and new roles to
  practise and develop new behaviours
                                                  7
What is our work?




“I know I will take what I have learnt with me through life”



                                                          8
Leap’s work


a. Early intervention: typically in schools associated with
   violence
b. Tackling stubborn levels of public violence: work with gangs,
   weapon carriers, response to recent violence
c. Support those already in criminal justice system: YOIs and
   through the gates work
d. Progression opportunities for young people: youth
   engagement; workplace training
e. Coordinating; not duplicating or competing: sharing latest
   evidence-based best practice


                                                               9
Responding to the riots


• Aftermath dominated by knee-jerk reactions
• Our response: work with young people, our
  expert trainers, and like-minded organisations
• Harnessing collective expertise of c.30
  organisations to draw up a constructive,
  sustainable programme of local activity
  – Repair the damage done to the relationships that
    make up each community
  – Build capacity to prevent violence escalating
                                                   10

  1. Thanks for meeting, introductions etcReference to recent conversation with TomL, “come back if you need more support” – want to tell you where we are, what our current needs are
  2. These facts indicate the scale of the challenges facing young people:Young people in the criminal justice system: 70% reoffending rates – our work in Chelmsford ... Those at the top age range need much more help as they are offered very little from the YJB.Gangs need coordinated comprehensive response – like the work we have already done in ScotlandEmployment is one of the most important aspects for young people – it is one of the most fulfilling ways to prevent offending, tackle poverty, build experience, yet the UK’s got a big problem with unemployed young people with little or no access to training or educationThe England-wide riots will see a lot of young people get a custodial sentence – and those young people will need different support than the older offenders But this is a window to influence the UK’s policy response
  3. in 2011 our work has includeddeveloping a collaborative response to the riots, as outlined elsewhere in this documentsustained work in Chelmsford prison, the preliminary results of which have highlighted an increase in young people going into education, a decrease in assaults on staff, a reduction in the severity of incidents, a reduction in the use of segregation, and 61% fewer adjudications.
  4. We need to spend a bit more time on this slide to set up the rest.We chose these as our focuses because it is where Leap can have the greatest sustainable impact – lasting change for young people and their communities. Impetus support for the strategic planning.Talk about impact on employability, race, gender, identity as a key focus for all of our workAlso talk about how we need to involve young people in all aspects of our work – development, design, evaluation, stakeholder communications
  5. At Leap Confronting Conflict, we were dismayed to watch the August disturbances unfold across England. We are leading experts in youth and conflict, with a strong track record of pioneering work with young people in communities affected by gang violence. We help them to understand and manage the everyday conflict in their lives.  We were concerned that the aftermath of the disturbances was dominated by knee-jerk reactions, rather than considered, collaborative responses. So we immediately started working with young people, our expert trainers, and like-minded organisations.  At Leap we are harnessing this collective expertise across nearly 30 organisations in the criminal justice and youth sectors to draw up a constructive and sustainable programme of local activity. We want to repair the damage done to the relationships that make up each community, building capacity to prevent violence escalating. Through all of this, we need to ensure that the voices of young people continue to be heard as part of any response. If Rotary Clubs want to know more about Leap’s progress and how they can help, please contact Richard Sved on 020 7561 3700 or richard.sved@leapcc.org.uk.
