From January onwards, the Social Inclusion department will be directly involved in the development of the Intervention Programme for Minors (Programa de Intervencion con Menores). This initiative, which has been carried out in recent years by the Red Cross, will once again be run by workers from the municipal department with the aim of continuing to achieve its objective: helping young people with difficulties in adapting and coexisting in school and thus preventing academic problems such as truancy. This was announced on Thursday 26th by the councillor for the area, Melisa Ceballos (PP), who pointed out that “we want to go a little further and also be able to intervene with the family and work together, both with the students at the school and with the parents, which is essential and is part of the education and progress of these children”.

Now, according to the director of the Social Inclusion department, Miguel Ángel López, “it will be municipal employees from Social Services who will be in charge of the management and execution of this programme, which will have social integrators in the three centres, who will work and intervene with children between 12 and 18 years of age with disruptive behaviour”. “The work will include some academic support, as well as group cooperation work, to try to empathise, promote social skills and work on the difficulties that the students may have”, explained López.
