Youth work charity Redthread has said it will run a three-year pilot of its Youth Violence Intervention Programme at Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham from February 2018 and at both Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Heartlands Hospital in Birmingham from July 2018.
Redthread staff will aim to work with young people aged between 11 and 25 who have been victims of serious assaults such as stabbings, gun crime, sexual assault or domestic violence. They will meet the young patients as soon as they can, whether it be in the A&E waiting room, on the ward, or even in the resuscitation bay.
