What do you think of a new mediation service which has been set up in Flintshire to bring together everyone in a community affected when young people are accused of causing trouble?
What happens is a trained co-ordinator enables community members, including the young people, and different agencies to look at the problem together and identify solutions by holding a so-called community conference. Project manager Pauline Bowe said: "This has successfully worked in Rochdale to resolve disputes within the neighbourhood."
You can read more about the service via the Flintshire Council website, www.flintshire.gov.uk. Do you have problems in your community and would you consider sitting around and talking about it with the young people concerned?
