Charity of the Month The service will work with young people under 18 years, who have run away from home, and their families/carers to help keep young people safe and preventing them from going missing again. Leigh Pearson, the Sutton missing person officer, will make referrals directly to Trish Alin, the newly appointed Jigsaw4u project worker. PC Maggie Brownlie, Merton’s Missing Persons Officer says “The police have a duty of care to interview all children who have gone missing once they have returned home, but we found they wouldn’t speak to us. Children often view social care and police as authority figures therefore intervention work is needed with the views of an independent person. Jigsaw4u were brought in speak to the children and bridge this gap.” The Metropolitan Police Service has described the Jigsaw4u / Merton partnership as an example of good practice in reducing the number of young people going missing.
Children’s charity Jigsaw4u launched a new service for Young Runaways in Sutton on Thursday 11 March 2010 at Jigsaw4u’s Mitcham office Children’s charity Jigsaw4u (www.jigsaw4u.org.uk) has expanded its successful service for Young Runaways to Sutton, thanks to new three year funding from the Big Lottery, Lloyds TSB and the Safer Sutton Partnership.
They can offer support, a ‘listening ear’ and mediation with parents and carers. Recent research from The Children’s Society shows that approximately 100,000 children run away from home or care in the UK each year- many will be fleeing family conflict, neglect and abuse, with girls aged 14-15 being most likely to run. Sindia Malhotra, Young Runaways Manager from Jigsaw4u has been very effective over the last five years in working with many teenage girls in Merton who are at risk of sexual exploitation. What makes a child run away from home? Sindia says there are many reasons including family breakdown, bullying, bereavement or they want to be with their boyfriend or girlfriend. “A new stepparent and a child might not get on,” she says. “This results in the child staying at a friend’s house
The new service was launched on Thursday 11 March at Jigsaw4u’s Mitchamoffice. Tom Brake MP, who attended, said “I welcome the fact the project is being launched and it will enable close working between Sutton and Merton which is an important issue. What this project recognises is there is now great need to make these resources available and focused on vulnerable people as they will have the most problems. It’s going to be a great success. It’s already been successful in Merton where I understand, on average, 75 people are helped each year and up to 10 have already been helped in Sutton.” Please mention

and is reported missing. My role is to listen to everyone and build up the communication channels by helping them to understand each other so the parties involved can start to communicate again. Another case involved a boy sleeping in a stairwell as he didn’t like his new school - his parents had recently moved house. A 15 year old girl ran away to stay with her boyfriend because her mother was emotionally abusive - nothing she did was good enough.” For more information about the service in Merton or Sutton, please contact: Young Runaways Project worker (Sutton) Patricia Alin Jigsaw4u 0208 687 1384 patriciaalin@jigsaw4u.org.uk Young Runaways Manager - (Merton & Sutton) Sindia Malhotra Jigsaw4u 0208 687 1384 sindiamalhotra@jigsaw4u.org.uk ABOUT JIGSAW4U Jigsaw4U was started in 1997 by chief executive Anne Davies who was named as Inspiring Woman of the Year by SHE women’s magazine. The charity’s objective is to support children, young people and their families who have experienced, grief, loss and trauma to meet together to tell their stories; develop coping strategies and social networks. It empowers them to have a voice in decision making about their lives, about the development of Jigsaw4u and in the development of policy and practice locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. One of the charity’s national aims is to ensure that all children and young people have access to the support they need by developing a scheme where there is a designated person for loss andtrauma in schools, GP practices and hospitals.
