The Nottinghamshire Runaways service work alongside young people and their families to find out what has caused them to run away and prevent them from running away again in the future.

The service is funded by Nottinghamshire County Council and run in partnership with Missing People.

Every five minutes a child runs away from home or care, they could be forced out by their parents or carers, fleeing conflict or abuse in the home.

We help young people who have run away who are at risk of:

• becoming involved in crime to survive, from stealing to criminal gang involvement 
• sexual exploitation and abuse 
• drug and alcohol misuse 
• mental and sexual health issues 
• exclusion from school and failure to meet educational milestones.

What we do

Provide a dedicated helpline

We run a dedicated helpline and provide support to young people who have runaway or need advice. We also support family and friends who are concerned about runaways.

Carry out return home interviews

We work with the young person to find out what caused them to runaway and to support them to address the causes.

Provide follow on support

We provide follow on support such as as a brief intervention or mentoring match, which helps to reduce the number of times the young person goes missing.

Work with other agencies

We work with other agencies and make referrals when specialist help is needed.

Community Learning Champions and their role:

When CLCs are given the resources to flex their creative talents, backed by effective support and training, lives and communities are changed for the better.  The results of the CLC National Support Programme speak for themselves: more people getting involved in learning, more parents raising their sights and those of their children, more people shaking off the damaging effects of depression and drug abuse, more people getting into work and more people getting involved in making their community a better place.

Our branch is run by a friendly team of local parents and we offer support, information and friendship to parents and parents-to-be. Whether you're looking for an antenatal class, want to come along to one of our weekly 'bumps and babies' or toddler groups or join us for a social evening without the kids, the Branch has got something to offer you.

Every Thursday 9.30 - 11.30  at The Well, Hospital Road DN22 2BP

Everything you need for your baby can be found at one of our highly successful Nearly New Sales.  The Bassetlaw branch run sales twice a year.

Helpline: 0800 435 455  (open every evening 6pm-10pm)

Interested in Volunteering?  Do you have skills or experience to enable you to be a 'good listener' on the helpline, for which some training is available?  It demands a commitment to be on the line 6pm-10pm for at least 2 evenings each month and our telephone system allows you to do this from your home.  Contact Maureen on maureen@mptraining.co.uk or 07703 127174.

The service supports Victims and survivors to be resilient and in doing so are less likely to be re-victimised; empowered to cope and recover from crime and anti-social behaviour by timely and effective victim-centred support from local services, families and communities.

Victims do not have to report a crime to access the service. Victims of both recorded and self-reported crime are tracked at all points in their journey and given access to information, practical support and advice and where appropriate, referral to ‘cope, recover and empowerment’ support services in their local communities.

Victim CARE ensures that the support will be victim-centred and outcome focussed. It will ensure that the needs of the victim are considered and supported at every stage of the criminal justice process.

The service is provided by a team of experienced professional case workers, giving one to one support to victims of crime and ASB. The team is supported by a committed and highly trained team of volunteers. The aim is to improve victims’ experience with the criminal justice system and associated support services.

Types of support

Victims of crime and anti-social behaviour benefit from enhanced help and support with a new-style service, designed around the needs of victims to help them cope and recover from their experience and empower them to become more resilient

• Tailored emotional and practical support, advocacy and restorative justice determined through a ‘needs assessment’, focusing on the level of harm caused by the crime and the vulnerability of the victim.
• A dedicated Caseworker providing one to one support to each victim, making it less stressful for them and reducing the number of times they are asked to tell their story
• Access to restorative justice services arranged by the Caseworker, which could include facilitating dialogue with a person with a conviction. Restorative justice brings those harmed by crime or conflict and those responsible for the harm into communication, enabling everyone affected by a particular incident to play a part in repairing the harm and finding a positive way forward.

Have you or someone you know been a victim of a hate crime or hate incident?

Hate crimes and incidents come in many different forms. It can be because of hatred on the grounds of your race, religion, sexual orientation, transgender identity or disability.

Hate crime in any form is wrong. That is why it is important that if hate crime happens to you or someone you know, that you report it.

On this website, you can:

• find out what hate crimes or hate incidents are.
• find out about the ways you can report them.
• report using the online form.
• find information about people that can help and support you if you have been a victim.

Reporting makes a difference – to you, your friends, and your community. By reporting hate crime when it happens, you can help stop it happening to someone else. You will also help the police to better understand the level of hate crime in your local area, and improve the way they respond to it.

Mental health issues can have a profound impact on our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. These may range from daily worries and stressors, to serious long-term problems that require treatment and in some cases, professional support, to manage effectively.

It is thought that there are two main types of mental health problems neurotic (typically the more common concerns, such as extreme stress or anxiety) or psychotic (less common concerns, such as schizophrenia). However, they are not always so easy to distinguish. We all have mental health, and what causes us worry and affects our daily lives may vary between each of us.

What is important is that the right information is provided, and that none of us are alone in our journey. Support is available - it's a case of finding what works best for you, whether that be self-help, professional guidance or medical treatment.

Here you will find some of the common types of mental health concerns. On the fact-sheets, you will find general information on the topic such as signs or symptoms, as well as treatment options and information on how counselling may help.
