In plain English

Sutton Council wants a team of youth workers to patrol and engage with children in public places, such as high streets, parks and transport hubs, where children say they feel unsafe or where anti-social behaviour and offending by young people are increasing. The work is funded by the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) until March 2029, with a budget of up to £40,000 a year.

What the buyer wants

• Provide youth workers who intervene with and reassure children in public spaces across the borough, including high streets, parks and transport hubs, and areas with rising youth anti-social behaviour or offending. • Take part in the monthly Problem Solving Meeting, where locations are chosen using police intelligence and partner insights, such as the borough's Multi Agency Child Exploitation Panel. • Offer a reactive response following serious incidents that happen in the borough.

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice does not list specific qualifications, insurance or checks, but the requirement to deliver ongoing youth outreach across the borough, respond to serious incidents and work within a multi-agency police and child exploitation partnership means a small business would need an established team of experienced youth workers and the capacity to deliver it.
