The Project was established in 1992 and works in close partnership
with Liverpool Social Services youth justice section. We work with
11 - 17 year olds involved in, or at risk of involvement in motor
crime. Non offenders are taught basic motor vehicle maintenance
and normally attend voluntarily. Sessions are normally delivered
to small groups. Identified motor vehicle offenders must attend
the projects offence focused Road Safety Programme. Attendance is
normally compulsory and forms part of the community based sentence
imposed by the courts e.g. a supervision order. The work is carried
out on a 1:1 over 12 sessions. Liverpool Social Services own evaluation
of the project has found that over 70% of young people completing
the road safety programme have not re-offended with motor vehicles
within a two year period.
