About the project

The Step Together pilot project aims to help keep children and young people safe on their journey to and from school. The project sees youth workers based along routes to school, acting as trusted adults and a point of contact. Their job is to de-escalate potential violence and to build positive relationships. The scheme covers seventeen routes across the West Midlands.
