Asked by: Joan Ryan (The Independent Group for Change - Enfield North)
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what training and support his Department is providing to (a) accident and emergency services and (b) major trauma centres in (i) London and (ii) England to identify victims of county lines exploitation; and if he will make a statement.
Answered by Victoria Atkins - Shadow Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
The Home Office is supporting a nationwide awareness raising campaign about county lines and the associated exploitation. The campaign is targeted to those best placed to spot potential victims, including those working in frontline health services. The campaign is supported by guidance we published in July 2017 for frontline professionals on how to identify potential victims of county lines and the appropriate referral routes.
Victims of county lines are often subjected to violence and as a result in end up in trauma centres and hospital emergency departments. Redthread operates a youth violence intervention scheme to reach young people at this ‘teachable’ moment in the four major trauma centres in London. In addition the Home Office is providing funding to support the expansion of Redthread’s scheme in hospital emergency departments outside London, starting with the Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham in February, and Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Heartlands Hospital in Birmingham in July.
