Safeguarding Children At Risk - Prevention & Action

SCARPA provides targeted youth support to young people who go missing or are at risk of sexual exploitation. The service is delivered from a base in Newcastle city centre.

Aims

SCARPA aims to help young people:

• 
  be ‘Safe from Harm’
  
• 
  stop going missing
  
• 
  reduce risky behaviours
  
• 
  exit situations of exploitation.
  

Making a Referral

SCARPA can work with young people who run away / go missing if:

• 
  they live in Newcastle
  
• 
  they are aged under 16
  
• 
  they have been involved in episodes of going missing.
  

If you are working with a young person who is aged 16 or 17 but feel they would benefit from a service please contact us to discuss this.

SCARPA can work with young people either experiencing or at risk from sexual exploitation if:

• 
  they live anywhere in Northumbria
  
• 
  they are aged under 18
  
• 
  they have displayed risk factors connected to possible sexual exploitation.
  

Again please ring if you are unsure about whether or not to make a referral.

We have posters and leaflets available for youth settings. Please contact us for copies.
