Currently, BVSNW are delivering a series of "Gang Awareness" Training sessions to officers at Parc Prison, Bridgend. The training is to give the officers an idea of what constitutes a 'gang', the reasons behind how some people get involved and an overview of general gang systems, signs, locations and activities.
We have been contracted by WAG to carry out consultation across the 16 Communities First areas of Caerphilly to provide a profile of diversity, identify good practice and identify gaps and opportunities for BME communities to better access services.
