At Redthread we work shoulder to shoulder with NHS colleagues.
Since beginning our Youth Violence Intervention Programme at Kings College Hospital 15 years ago, we’ve been in emergency departments reaching young victims of violence and helping them to recover and turn their lives around.
Covid-19 and changes to our delivery:
Violence hasn’t gone away, and we’re working hard to ensure the young people who need Redthread, get support. We’re still taking live referrals from ED staff and engaging young people remotely.
Each site has slightly different plans in place to do this- but all should soon be able to receive referrals by either phone or email. We’ll continue to check in with hospital safeguarding teams and join multi-agency meetings remotely.
Our teams will then contact young people by mobile if possible or via the ward phone.
