00:00Police officers are taking on mentoring roles in a new London pilot, designed to help young
00:06people build confidence and aspirations. Around 15 Metropolitan Police officers will work with
00:12pupils at five schools, starting at Chiswick School in Hounslow. The seven-week programme
00:18is an expansion of the King's Trust Mosaic Mentoring Scheme, supporting 12 to 17-year-olds
00:24identified as likely to benefit from positive role models. Police now says the pilot could
00:30help young people develop resilience and practical skills. The Met says building trust
00:36with communities is important for keeping London safe. The programme could eventually expand
00:41to around 30 officers nationwide.
