Brent Linx is a new service led by Safe in the City and Brent Community Safety and Development Unit. It brings together a cluster of services that will help young people that are: • 13 - 18 years old • Having serious arguments or are very unhappy at home • Regularly not attending school, excluded or unemployed • Feeling lonely, depressed or unsure of the future • Keen to make positive choices and make life better A key worker will guide each young person seamlessly through three elements within the cluster scheme on a tailor made programme that meets their need.         The three elements of the scheme are delivered by a partnership of three voluntary sector gencies that have a proven track record locally of working effectively to support young people at risk.       The Depaul Trust is the lead partner, co-ordinating the scheme and delivering skills and employability training that will help young people achieve their potential by developing an individual training plan, that boosts their qualifications, encourages learning and helps with interview and employment skills as well as addressing actual, or risk, of exclusion from school.
