ASB Project Helps Young People Change Their Choices

A housing association is aiming to reduce the impact of ASB caused by young people with the launch of a project that encourages them to consider the consequences of their actions and make positive decisions about their future. City West’s Change Your Choices initiative sees the landlord working with 10 to 16 year olds who are in danger of becoming involved in criminal and nuisance behaviour by providing a week-long course of hard-hitting and inspirational events designed to show the impact of ASB on their communities.  The scheme has already proved successful, with a pilot project last year followed by two more courses this summer. Since its launch the number of ASB incidents committed by young people in City West communities has fallen by around 10%.  Read more on 24dash.
