Description

The Staffordshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner seeks to commission a Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Navigator Service from 1st April 2025. The role of Navigators has been developed and tested across a number of areas (e.g. Scotland; London, Manchester). Navigators are people (often with a youth or social work background) based within Accident and Emergency (A&E) Departments and community settings who can support relevant patients to 'navigate' their way away from violence, exploitation, criminal activity or other harms (whether they are a victim, perpetrator, or both). Support is provided by the Navigators within the A&E, and afterwards in community settings. The Navigator Service across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, will help: Reduce re-victimisation / re-injury Reduce serious violence and violent homicide Prevent offending/reoffending Reduce attendance at hospital Support health care settings to capitalise on existing local support Improve life chances for children, young people and young adults
