Me launched Countywide in February 2019 and brought together the Council’s core offer to adolescents by building on the Youth Offending Team, Youth Hub and Early Help. Focusing on supporting young people aged 14-18, we have a dedicated hub comprising staff with a focus on youth housing, diversion from youth justice, child exploitation, community interventions as well as our Psychology team.
