Do you know what 'County Lines' is? If not, then read on! County Lines is the modern way that city gangs establish a network of people, usually youngsters, in towns and villages across the country to transport and supply drugs.
Understanding County Lines for Parents, Grandparents and Guardians
The Clewer Initiative are running a free training session on understanding county lines for parents, grandparents and guardians, and for Mothers’ Union members. We have run several of these training sessions over the past few months which have been extremely popular and we hope that anyone who has not yet had a chance to attend will be able to join us for this session. Please see further information below:
