Reach: A new model of intervention for children before, during and after they run away
Executive Summary
Children and young people face many dangers when missing from home or care: new cases of sexual exploitation and gang violence appear in the media almost daily and behind the headlines are children, alone and at risk on the streets. It is completely unacceptable that we leave the youngest and most vulnerable in our society to a life on the streets when we have already failed to protect them in their homes or Institutional care.
Railway Children’s work is focused on creating and enabling sustainable solutions for children and young people who live on the streets. Here in the UK our first meaningful step in achieving this goal was to undertake research on why children turn to the streets, how they survive and ultimately what they need in order to be safe and have opportunities in their lives.
