Our Young People
*Data from October 2024*
When young people are referred, referral partners are asked to select their presenting need. On average, young people have 2 presenting needs, compounding the level of risk that they face. It is important to note this information comes from referrers and not young people directly.
of young people report having mental health challenges.
10% of children in the UK have a diagnosable mental health condition. Just over 1 in 3 children and young people with a mental health challenge get access to NHS care and treatment. 2 in 3 therefore DO NOT get access.
of young people are care experienced.
41% of care leavers aged 19-21 years are not in education, employment, or training (NEET), compared to 12% of all 19- to 21-year-olds.
Nearly 50% of under 21-year-olds in contact with the criminal justice system have spent time in care.
of young people are at risk of exploitation.
Gang associated children were 77% more likely to have an identified mental health need than other children assessed by children’s services – and twice as likely to have a history of self-harm.
of young people are at risk of offending.
Young people not in education, employment, or training (NEET) are 5 times more likely than their peers to become involved in the youth justice system and 3 times more likely to suffer depression, leading to longer term health problems and costs to society.
