There are a number of areas where we work with TEO, including the Communities in Transition scheme. We also work with the Department for Communities on diversionary activity and trying to support young people particularly but also wider communities in building resilience against paramilitary and organised crime, which, we know, is a genuine issue for many people.

It was remiss of me not to mention that the policing and community safety partnerships (PCSPs) in each of the council areas are funded by my Department. My Department also invests in local projects and diversionary schemes to support the wider work of the PSNI and the other law enforcement agencies and their community and voluntary sector partners.
