Two significant findings emerged from this consultation exercise, the perceived or real risk to young people as they make their way around the borough and how this risk impacts on disabled young people and their parents’ concerns about safety and vulnerability. In order to address the issue, a small multi-agency steering group was established to look at the possibility of developing a scheme locally that could address these factors made up of: PS Neil Standring (Police), Janet Leach (Joint Disability Service), Barbara Atkinson (Children’s Fund), Anne Stoker (Integrated Support and Safeguarding) and Claire Whetstone and Shafiqul Karim (ECYPS). The overall aims of the scheme (originally called the Emergency Help Point Scheme) are as follows: · To support young people in raising their awareness of personal safety issues. · To keep children and young people safe as they move around within Enfield. · To facilitate the safe travel of young people with diverse support needs · To raise awareness of safeguarding children and young people within the community · To strengthen relationships between the adult community and young people. It was decided to set up ‘safe havens’ for children and young people as they make their way around the borough. Business and other premises would be asked to display the CHPS logo and, after appropriate training and CRB checks, be able to support vulnerable young people or refer them appropriately to the relevant support services. Children are made aware, through presentations in schools, that they can ask for help where the logo is displayed if they are at risk, lost or feel frightened/ intimidated.
