More young people in custody in South West London are being given the chance to speak to a youth worker.


The Met Police has launched a new project called “Engage” aimed at supporting children away from further offending.

Dedicated youth workers are now available at a number of custody suites including Merton and Wandsworth for 10 to 17 year olds.

They will then arrange to meet again within 24-48 hours post release to explore crime diversion activities and educational opportunities.
