The Greater Manchester (GM) Navigator Project
The Greater Manchester (GM) Navigator Project is a youth-focused, violence reduction project based in four Greater Manchester hospitals.
The four hospitals involved are Royal Bolton Hospital, Salford Royal Hospital, Manchester Royal Infirmary and Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.
They will undertake a 12-month pilot which will be evaluated by researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University.
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) Violence Reduction Unit has commissioned the Navigator Project, to be delivered by Oasis.
The team of GM Navigator youth workers are based in the four hospital Emergency Departments alongside dedicated clinical leads to support vulnerable young people aged 10-25 admitted as a result of violence.
The team are working with the young people for up to 6 weeks, helping them access local support networks and prevent further violence.
