This will include:

• A Fearless campaign for young people regarding knife crime and exploitation

• A Crimestoppers campaign, including leaflet drop and online communications

Some residents of Ely & Caerau described mistrust and a lack of confidence in policing, which was particularly acute amongst young people in the community.

To build these relationships, South Wales Police will deliver a series of programmes to connect with residents and young people in the community over time.

This will include:

• A rollout of the Mini Police programme with years 4 & 5 across 7 primary schools, Herbert Thompson Windsor Clive, Millbank, Trelai, Pencaerau, Hywel Dda, Nant Caerau. This will include working with small groups of pupils to look at community safety problem-solving projects.

• PCSO engagement with Schools – every PCSO has been allocated a primary school, visiting at the start of the day, helping more children and parents to build relationships of trust with the police.

• Continuing to understand community perceptions through the South Wales Listens Survey. This will include a bespoke survey for Ely & Caerau, a version of which will be targeted at young people. Residents can also register to receive updates about local policing news, including good news stories regarding crime prevention and enforcement.

• South Wales Police will support community-led PACT (Partnerships and Communities Together) meetings in Ely, Caerau and Michaelston. A regular PACT meeting has already been established in Michaelston and residents in Ely and Caerau will be invited to participate in our community-safety problem solving projects as outlined in Action 2.4.

• Develop a Police Youth Volunteer Hub at St. Vincents Centre, where young people can learn about policing, go on trips and get involved in community events alongside police. • Regular police drop-in session weekly at Cardiff West Community High School, so pupils can come and chat with PCSOs, building on the existing work to build positive relationships between young people and police.

Our commitment is to work with the children and young people of Ely & Caerau to develop and design their future youth spaces, equipped with first class facilities, and supported through professional youth work.

We will seek capital funding to deliver young people’s blueprint for a transformative space that will bring long-term benefits for current and future generations, agreeing a 3-year plan to deliver their ambitions.

To begin, we will deliver a broad engagement exercise in the summer of 2024, to help young people dream big and get creative. We will showcase a variety of exciting options and even take them to see some of the amazing spaces that have been delivered elsewhere in the city and the UK.

By the end of the summer, we will commit the young people’s vision to paper and begin to raise the funds for building and running the space, which will open by 2027.

YourSpace provides 1:1 social prescribing support and works to develop new community-led wellbeing activities across South West Cardiff.

The team of Wellbeing Connectors support people to identify what matters to them and take steps to improve their wellbeing, making us of the activities and services available within their community.

They use a supportive signposting approach, helping patients to find activities in the community and working with them to remove any barriers to attending, usually going along with them on their first visit to a group. These include social groups, art, gardening and fitness groups and relevant courses.

The Community Development Team, at ACE, works with the local community to develop new activities, to meet needs and fill gaps.

ACE will lead the development of an easy access online community directory that will serve as a one-stop shop, highlighting opportunities available to people of all ages in the community. The website will provide a straightforward, easy to navigate interface, accommodating all community members, even those with limited internet experience.

Sustainable funding will be sought to ensure the website can be well managed and maintained into the future. A centralised calendar of events can be incorporated into the directory so community members can enter events, course dates, meetings and announcements, and the public can stay informed of what is happening locally, to increase participation rates

A community-led minibus service will improve access to existing facilities across the area and enable local services and charities to increase their reach and impact.

To take this idea forwards, ACE will support the development of a partnership funding bid for e.g. 2 9-seater electric minibuses, fully wheelchair accessible, with secure parking/charging point/solar panels, which could be shared amongst community partners and schools. In the year ahead, they will support the design of a suitable shared-use model to enable a local partnership to schedule use of these vehicles and maximise their benefit.

Some residents of Ely & Caerau described mistrust and a lack of confidence in policing, which was particularly acute amongst young people in the community.

To build these relationships, South Wales Police will deliver a series of programmes to connect with residents and young people in the community over time.

This will include:

• A rollout of the Mini Police programme with years 4 & 5 across 7 primary schools, Herbert Thompson Windsor Clive, Millbank, Trelai, Pencaerau, Hywel Dda, Nant Caerau. This will include working with small groups of pupils to look at community safety problem-solving projects.

• PCSO engagement with Schools – every PCSO has been allocated a primary school, visiting at the start of the day, helping more children and parents to build relationships of trust with the police.

• Continuing to understand community perceptions through the South Wales Listens Survey. This will include a bespoke survey for Ely & Caerau, a version of which will be targeted at young people. Residents can also register to receive updates about local policing news, including good news stories regarding crime prevention and enforcement.

• South Wales Police will support community-led PACT (Partnerships and Communities Together) meetings in Ely, Caerau and Michaelston. A regular PACT meeting has already been established in Michaelston and residents in Ely and Caerau will be invited to participate in our community-safety problem solving projects as outlined in Action 2.4.

• Develop a Police Youth Volunteer Hub at St. Vincents Centre, where young people can learn about policing, go on trips and get involved in community events alongside police. • Regular police drop-in session weekly at Cardiff West Community High School, so pupils can come and chat with PCSOs, building on the existing work to build positive relationships between young people and police.

Videos will help people overcome barriers to accessing support - reducing anxiety by showing what the building looks like, what to expect from primary care services and other forms of support available before an appointment.

The Barnardo’s & Co-Op partnership will support the development and launch of a new community fridge, supported by and specifically for local young people, to help them access food and eat well through the cost-of-living crisis.

The partnership will also look to deliver monthly ‘social kitchens’ where young people can come together to cook and eat. The first phase of this project will include scoping with advice from Food Sense Wales and Cardiff Council, to identify a suitable venue and ensure we are meeting requirements for food safety.

These actions were identified directly by local young people, who told us they wanted free and accessible food and safe spaces to eat food with other young people.

The Young Person’s Guarantee (YPG) is the Welsh Government’s key commitment to provide everyone aged 16 to 24, living in Wales, with support to gain a place in education or training, help to get into work or self-employment.

The YPG provides an umbrella structure that sits above Welsh Government funded programmes for young people, aiming to fully utilise existing interventions, and to create a straightforward journey for young people regardless of circumstances and background.

Locally, we are strengthening dedicated support for young people not in education or employment through a range of new programmes with our higher education and voluntary sector partners, funded via the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund, including: Barnardo’s- NEET Engagement and Wellbeing Service for Young People A new project providing integrated support to young people aged 15-24 sustaining education and/or progressing into employment Cardiff & Vale College - STARN (Supporting Those at Risk of NEET) An initiative that will support learners at the College who are at risk of disengaging and becoming NEET to remain in education or access an employment pathway. Princes Trust- Enterprise Programme A tailored programme to provide self-employment support to young people who are economically inactive or NEET.

Each of these programmes will align with Cardiff Council’s IntoWork Youth Mentors, who provide intense mentoring and support, helping young people to secure sustainable employment. Each young person engaging with the Youth Mentor service will have their own mentor who will meet them at a convenient local place.

Residents and young people told us that they did not feel that the investment and change taking place in the wider city was always generating benefits for them. There was a feeling of being locked out of opportunities and that employers were missing out on the skills and talents of local young people.

With several major development projects scheduled for delivery in the city in the coming 5 years, both residents and local public services were keen to ensure that the construction of new homes and world-class facilities across the city applies a targeted approach to ensure tangible benefits for young people in Ely and Caerau in the form of apprenticeships, training, and jobs, The construction and engineering sectors were identified as a key focus for apprenticeships and upcoming career opportunities for local young people in future years.

To deliver this action, we will be asking the Cardiff Commitment Programme Board, the strategic partnership with responsibility for realising the benefits of major developments and employer partnerships for the young people in the city who stand to benefit the most from these employment opportunities, to include Ely & Caerau as a key target area in their forward plan for 2024-2025 and years to come.

5.4 - Business Partnerships with local schools: connecting young people to the jobs of tomorrow

# data[].attributes.body
The Cardiff Commitment is a citywide alliance of employers from growth sectors of the economy, Higher Education, Further Education, 3rd Sector and schools who seek to harness the economic, cultural and social capital of Cardiff for the benefit of children and young people.

This collaboration of partners secures opportunities which raise ambitions and develop the skills needed for the world of work to support pupils to fulfil their potential and contribute to the economic growth of our city. Cardiff West Community High School forms part of this alliance and runs a regular Business Partnership Forum to design initiatives to connect young learners to the jobs of tomorrow.

The partnership aims to promote better co-operation and closer alliances between the business sector and the school, and has a range of fantastic projects planned for 2024 with the support of the Cardiff Commitment team including:

• Work experience days with PwC scheduled for August 2024

• Debate Mate 12 week Pilot Core Programme to upskill young people with key 21st century skills: communication, problem-solving, leadership, teamwork, critical thinking, confidence

• Channel 4 ‘Have a Go’ programme, encouraging students to choose TV production as a career path

• PACE Project- Promoting careers in the healthcare profession

• Partnership with Ely & Caerau Children’s Centre to run an ‘Open Your Eyes’ Week, promoting career options within the Early Years sector

• Work experience at Ely & Caerau Children’s Centre for 6 pupils from Cantonian, Mary Immaculate and Cardiff West High Schools

• Volunteer placements at Windsor Clive Primary through the Bright Start IntoWork programme for young people leaving care

• LCB Group Construction Site visits to Sevenoaks Road 2024-25

• Pupils at Cardiff West Community High School will also work with school staff and partners to co-design a jobs fair with businesses and organisations, with hands-on experiences and activities. Early planning for this was led by young people at a community workshop to develop actions under the theme of employment and training

• Unite 4 Youth, a project of The Gloves Are On charity, is connecting businesses with Cardiff West High School to set up apprenticeships and support routes to job opportunities for pupils. Caerdav is an MRO and pilot training company based at the St Athan – Cardiff Airport Aerospace Enterprise Zone. Caerdav will be taking on their first two apprentices from Cardiff West in summer 2024. They are also inviting 16 pupils to an open day in May 2024. Unite 4 Youth hopes to continue expanding apprenticeship opportunities with plumbing and electrician businesses.

• The Black Police Association is working with The Gloves Are On and Race Council Cymru to deliver SPARK, an initiative to cultivate leadership skills, fostering positive relationships between youth and the police. A forward plan for delivery of the Cardiff Commitment programme in 2024-2026 is currently in development.

This will also include the expansion of the supported employment pathway, providing work experience and connecting with growth sectors to provide a talent pipeline.

# data[].attributes.body
Those who are furthest from the labour market often need a more intensive and wide-ranging package of support. Whilst there is a strong existing relationship between local into-work services, DWP advisers and voluntary sector initiatives, there are opportunities to strengthen connections between employment and health systems, as mental health and disability were identified as the key barriers to work for most people.

The Into Work Advice Service will provide dedicated employment mentoring and training support using Communities for Work+ and Shared Prosperity Funding to deliver targeted interventions for those furthest away from the labour market.

Engagement Officers will work with residents and community organisations to identify individuals or groups who require support, developing an understanding of local needs.

To improve support to local people Into Work Advice Service will;

• Deliver dedicated employment fairs in the West of the city • Host engagement events once a quarter to promote support available to local communities

• Increase presence across Cardiff West expanding job club provision

• Work with local partners to promote Cardiff Works 4 You and volunteering opportunities
