These youth work/ case work teams are based within the hospital and provide crisis support to young people aged 11 - 25 presenting at the hospitals as victims (or suspected / potential victims) of violence. The Hospital Based Youth Work programme is a high profile, high value service commissioned by the VRU and we are investing significantly in improving the evidence base for this work.
