Redthreads initiative involves youth workers being embedded in Accident and Emergency Departments to talk to young victims of violence at the critical teachable moment, when young people are out of their comfort zone, alienated from their peers, and often coming to terms with the effects of injury.They offer intervention support to all assault victims aged from 13 to 20 to prevent them from joining a gang or to help established gang members reassess their life choices. This work helps young people to disrupt the cycle of violence that bring hundreds of teens to the hospitals each year.This type of intervention is not provided for by any statutory provision. It meets the needs of those who present to services, whom are likely to be highly vulnerable, but who may not meet statutory thresholds. There are a small, limited number of providers who provide this type of intervention in A&E departments. Redthread are unique in that their charity is solely dedicated to providing this type of intervention in relation to teachable moments in A&E and other hospital and health settings. They are therefore the largest provider operating a unique space in the market (in that they cover the largest number of A&E departments across the country using the same model). They have a unique position in that they are very closely engaged and aligned to the Governments serious violence agenda. They are the only organisation permitted access to certain hospital locations and have now embedded provision in Birmingham (Heartlands and Queen Elizabeth Hospital) and Nottingham (Queens Medical Centre).Redthread is requesting funding towards a number of infrastructure roles (outlined below), all of which are vital to the strategic aims of the organisation (and aligned with those of the Home Office) in 2020/21.Evaluation of their model was required as part of their grant last year. Redthread have had success in showing reductions in involvement in serious violence of 57% in their caseload. However, in order to strengthen the evaluation, we need to be able to measure evidence of impact across greater geographical coverage and this is another factor in awarding this grant.Progress will be reviewed on a regular basis throughout the year through meetings/calls and by midterm and end of year reports provided by Redthread.
