Safeguarding & next term

What we saw, and what we recommend

Safeguarding activity

  • 2 concerns escalated to your DSL — both same day, both logged in Views.
  • 1 Early Help referral supported through to allocation.
  • 1 joint visit with the Community Safety Team following a peer-group concern.
  • 3 multi-agency meetings attended on your behalf.
  • No concern waited more than 24 hours for escalation.

Themes emerging

  • A Year 10 peer group is being drawn toward an older group outside school.
  • Pupils describe isolation as a sanction that deepens disengagement.
  • Girls in Year 10 report harassment they have not formally reported.
  • Trust in adults is the recurring barrier to disclosure.

Recommended next term

  • Continue 1 day per week; 2 pupils extend, 6 exit with plans.
  • Re-run the VAWG and Misogyny pair with Year 9 as they move up.
  • Add a Year 10 girls' group following the harassment theme.
  • Consider a staff briefing on contextual safeguarding.
  • Refer 3 pupils to the Battis Youth Hub for holiday continuity.
Nothing in this report is a surprise to your DSL.Every item was raised at the time it arose. The report exists to evidence the term, not to disclose it — that already happened, in the moment, through the channels we agreed with you in week one.

The programme

Sustained support, not a one-off intervention

The Youth Unity Future Tracks programme, funded through Southeastern's Customer and Community Improvement Fund in 2025, provided intensive, trauma-informed one-to-one mentoring for young people aged 11–18 who were identified as at risk of anti-social behaviour, serious youth violence, or exploitation linked to the rail network.

Moving beyond short-term interventions, the project delivered sustained, relationship-based mentoring combined with accredited employability training, wellbeing support and clear progression routes — supporting young people back into education, employment and training.

Through strong partnerships with safeguarding teams, schools and local authorities, the programme demonstrated measurable social impact: reducing vulnerability, increasing engagement, and building safer, more confident young passengers across Southeastern's network.

The journey

From at-risk to on track

Stop 01 — Referral

Identifying young people at risk

Young people aged 11–18 flagged as at risk of anti-social behaviour, serious youth violence or exploitation connected to the railway.

Stop 02 — Mentoring

Trauma-informed one-to-one support

Sustained, relationship-based mentoring that built trust over time — meeting each young person where they were.

Stop 03 — Skills

Accreditation & wellbeing

Accredited employability training and wellbeing support that built real confidence and capability.

Stop 04 — Progression

Routes into education, employment & training

Clear next steps so progress continued well beyond the programme itself.

Destination — Safer travel

Confident young passengers

Reduced vulnerability and safer, more confident young people travelling across the network.

Youth-led campaign

10 Tips to Stay Safe Travelling on Public Transport

Responding to a serious train incident in Cambridgeshire, Future Tracks participants co-designed a proactive safety campaign — creating their own messaging and visual materials to encourage confident reporting, safer travel behaviours and peer-to-peer awareness across stations, schools and social media.

Recognition

On Track to Opportunity

In June 2026 we joined Southeastern and the Purpose Coalition at the House of Commons for the launch of On Track to Opportunity — Southeastern's Social Mobility Impact Report 2026.

Future Tracks was featured as a case study in the report, recognised for the measurable difference it made to young people's safety, confidence and life chances.

Why it exists

Nowhere safe to go

After school, too many young people in Romford had nowhere safe to be — moved on from public spaces and drawn into the "lost hours" that fuel anti-social behaviour, isolation and risk. Through years of outreach, one message was consistent: they wanted somewhere to relax, be themselves, and spend time around trusted adults. The Battis is our answer.

"Nowhere safe to spend time after school"
"We feel unsafe in public spaces"
"Somewhere we can relax without being moved on"
"Spaces where trusted adults are present"
The transformation

From forgotten space to flagship hub

About 18 months ago we spotted an underused side-space beside the former ATIK nightclub — overgrown, rubbish-strewn and completely unusable. Where others saw neglect, we saw opportunity.

The overgrown space before work began
Before · overgrown & unusable
The space transformed with paint and lighting
After · transformed & alive
1

Secured the space

With support from local leadership and partners, a proposal was approved and access to the space secured — the turning point from idea to delivery.

2

Cleared by the community

Community Payback teams and volunteers cleaned and cleared the site week after week, transforming it from unusable to accessible.

3

Built through partnership

Pro-bono construction and development from our property partners — Legendre UK and GTS — turned the space into something usable, built sustainably with reclaimed materials to keep costs low and impact high.

4

Brought to life

Local artist @cizeone painted bold, vibrant murals that gave The Battis its identity, colour and pride.

5

Opened to young people

What was once a neglected alley is now a thriving hub — busy, welcoming and led by the needs of Romford's young people.

Positive things to do

Funded by the Metropolitan Police, the hub is packed with activities that give young people structure, support and a reason to be there during peak-risk hours.

Sport

Basketball, table tennis, boxing & fitness equipment.

Gaming

Consoles and big-screen TVs in a relaxed chill zone.

Studio

Podcasting, music production and a DJ space.

Hot food

Meals cooked on site, so no one goes without.

The indoor hub

More than a space

Donated by Transport for London (Elizabeth line) and Havering Council, our indoor hub is a vibrant multi-use studio — a gaming area, a podcast & media studio, and a music production & DJ space — now used for youth-led projects and community development all year round.

The difference we're making

Real impact, fast

In just eight weeks, The Battis has become a place young people actively choose — and we're especially proud of the strong and growing number of young women taking part, a group too often underserved by youth provision.

Views Case Management

Investing in Better Safeguarding and Smarter Systems

At Youth Unity, young people are at the heart of everything we do. Safeguarding, trust and accountability are not just responsibilities we talk about they are built into our daily practice.

That’s why we’ve recently invested in a new case management system through Substance. This system allows us to securely log our sessions, record the support we provide, and ensure that important information is kept safe, accurate and consistent. Most importantly, it strengthens our safeguarding processes and helps us respond more effectively when young people need us.

We also know that our mentors’ time is best spent building relationships, supporting young people and being present, not completing endless paperwork. This system has been chosen to make recording information simpler, faster and more meaningful, allowing our team to focus on what matters most.

In addition, the system enables us to produce more in-depth case studies and structured reports. This is essential in helping us demonstrate impact clearly, meet the requirements of our funders, and ensure transparency and accountability across our work.

While there is a learning curve, this investment is about long-term impact. It will help us track progress more clearly, identify concerns earlier, and evidence outcomes more effectively.

This change reflects our ongoing commitment to improving our services and ensuring that every young person we work with is supported safely, responsibly and with care.

Youth Podcasting Projects – Giving Young People a Voice

At Youth Unity CIC, we run a range of youth-led podcasting projects designed to give young people a platform to express themselves, explore meaningful topics, and build confidence in their voice. These sessions not only develop valuable digital media and communication skills, but also encourage participants to engage in open conversations around mental health, identity, relationships, youth violence, and social justice.

Our podcasting workshops offer a creative and impactful space for young people to lead discussions, share personal experiences, and interview local role models, professionals, and peers. The final content is both youth-driven and professionally supported, resulting in high-quality outputs that reflect the issues young people care about most.

We are proud to offer podcasting as a creative service that contributes to personal development, digital literacy, and youth empowerment. If you’re a funder, school, or partner organisation interested in supporting or commissioning a podcasting project, we’d love to collaborate.
