Youth mediation service: making a difference
Future developments
Four years on, we continue to develop the highest standards of practice towards this population. The Throughcare Team alongside other Social Work, Housing, Education and voluntary agency colleagues have all been instrumental in promoting the needs of young people at an early stage.
We continue to be proactive and intend extending mediation through school based work and other developments. Currently South Ayrshire is in negotiation with the Scottish Church Housing Association to develop a Night Stop facility for young people at risk of homelessness and mediation will play a key role in offering support at this stage.
