In the charity's own words
SAFE! provides support for young people (between the ages of 8 and 25) who are suffering the negative impacts of crime. Young victims are offered the opportunity to have a series of meetings with a fully trained professional to help them overcome the negative impacts of that experience of a crime. We also offer training and support to other professionals working in youth justice.
