Partnership-Led Youth Outreach Supporting Community Safety

Youth Unity will be delivering targeted outreach sessions in Gravesend and Dartford town centres, working in partnership with the Community Safety Partnerships in both areas and Kent Police.

Through our mobile outreach provision, our team will engage directly with young people, offering support, guidance, and positive alternatives to help divert them away from crime and anti-social behaviour. We will provide on-the-spot signposting to local services and activities, creating pathways into constructive opportunities within the community.

This work forms part of our contextual safeguarding approach, recognising the environments where young people spend their time and responding proactively to reduce risk. Guided by our 3P strategy – Prevent, Protect, and Provide, we aim to prevent harm, protect young people from  exploitation a      nd anti-social influences, and provide safe spaces and positive activities that encourage healthier choices.

Medway Council – Professionals Training

Youth Unity CIC is proud to have been commissioned by Medway Council to deliver Level 3 Safeguarding training on Serious Youth Violence to social workers and early help practitioners during 2025/26

This training focuses on strengthening professional knowledge, building confidence in safeguarding practice, and improving responses to young people at risk. Serious youth violence is a complex issue that no single agency can tackle alone. Effective partnership working between social care, education, police, health services, and community organisations is essential to identify risks early, share information, and provide coordinated support to young people and their families.

By working together, we can create safer environments, intervene at the right time, and offer young people positive pathways away from harm. Youth Unity is committed to supporting professionals with the tools, insight, and collaboration needed to make a lasting impact.

“This was one of the most practical safeguarding sessions I’ve attended. The training gave real insight into the risks young people face and how we can respond more effectively as a multi-agency team. I left feeling more confident in my role.”

“Youth Unity delivered a powerful and thought-provoking training. The facilitators created a safe space for discussion while providing clear, practical strategies. It strengthened our team’s understanding of safeguarding at Level 3.”
