A Peer Mentor has been appointed to tackle anti-social behaviour in Stirling city centre by working with young people.
The new role aims to support a safer, welcoming and more resilient city by reducing anti-social behaviours and providing alternative positive pathways for potential offenders.
He said: “I see the role as a really good opportunity to help young people turn their lives around and what’s vital is to catch them at a point when they are trying to make a change. “I’ve already spoken to some and it’s like having a conversation with myself 20 years ago when I was a teenager and making every mistake you can make – getting into fights and trouble before making a change for the better.“My own experiences help me relate to young people who are getting into similar kinds of situations and give me a better chance of getting through to them. I’m excited about the role and how I can make a difference.
They hope local businesses and organisations will also become a vital part of the approach by offering mentoring and job opportunities to young people working with Craig and SCE. “Increased police visibility is one solution which can function as a deterrent, however, we recognised the importance of addressing the wider underlying societal, educational and economic factors which contribute to anti-social behaviour and the need to tackle these if we are to succeed in dealing with the issue on a long-term basis.
