A team of dedicated youth workers is on standby, ready to intervene when the latest young victim of violent crime is brought into A&E.

They want to help 10 to 25-year-olds break free from the cycle of violence, and prevent tit-for-tat attacks further blighting their communities.

The GM Navigator project, launched almost six months ago within four Greater Manchester hospitals, focuses on areas which have seen some of the highest levels of youth violence.

I think ten year sentences for those who carry a knife will make more difference.

GMVRU victim lead Dave Gilbride said the scheme was definitely working.

"It absolutely does cut the number of repeat victims coming into hospital, he said ??


  What's a repeat victim? Are these people'victim blaming?


  Yoof workers eh? They should be concentrating on scooping the feral rats that carry out the attacks, maybe corporal punishment will deter them.
