Inclusion as Prevention – South Lanarkshire

Inclusion as Prevention (IaP) is examining services for children and young people who are at risk of offending, and for their families, with the intention of re-shaping those services to make them as helpful, understanding and effective as possible.

Launched in South Lanarkshire in 2019 and funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, Inclusion as Prevention is a partnership between South Lanarkshire Council, Action for Children, the Children’s and Young People’s Centre for Justice and Dartington Service Design Lab.

It is envisaged that the project could have an impact far beyond the county’s borders. Beginning in Rutherglen and Cambuslang, it aims to use what is learnt there to later expand throughout South Lanarkshire.
