Issues for consideration were also the number of children not in education, and the contacts made as a result of acute stress caused by homelessness issues, the vulnerabilities of looked after children, and young people with SEN which were disproportionately represented in both victims and offenders.

There were also wider issues associated with the increase in knife injuries, including young girls involved in gang culture with data and issues to consider in this area. Also the increase in criminal activity to support gang members, often around the country, was evident and there were an identified group of individuals identified as at risk.
