Description

The Gateway project is a multi-agency initiative designed to respond to the specific needs of young adult offenders between the ages of 18-24 years. The programme will seek to offer an alternative to formal prosecution by way of a conditional offer via an individually tailored contract to engage with partner agency based critical pathways of need. The programme will look to improve life chances and opportunities for desistance by offenders as well as support victims of crime by way of restorative justice interventions.
