_RELIEF PROJECT WORKER_
Treo provides a community-based programme that addresses the needs of
people aged from * years who have demonstrated
offending behaviour. Some are at risk of further criminal involvement
arising from their behaviour and associations, others are on probation
or have served custodial sentences. The project endeavors to
positively challenge offending behaviour through the provision of a
structured and supportive mentoring and guidance programme. It aims to
maximize the young people’s access to appropriate and useful
training, education and development programmes through mediating and
negotiating with existing responses where appropriate, and through the
design and implementation of initiatives where no current relevant
provision exists.
The project offers a model of engagement to participants, which meets
the young person where he or she is at when first contact is made. The
development of the programme involves facilitating the young person
through a process, which enables him/her to identify his/her own
needs.
