| Pupil Watch works in Partnership |
|
| Pupil Watch works together with several different agencies in Birmingham, to develop a large network of information, expertise and resources. |
|
|
|
 |
West Midlands Police
The most longstanding and direct partnership is with West Midlands Police, who have the power to stop children of school age in a public place. West Midlands Police value working with Pupil Watch because removing a young person off the street removes a potential victim or perpetrator of crime.

|
| Birmingham Community Safety Partnership
This partnership has sponsored two Pupil Watch vehicles, used to return children to school or a place of safety and to raise the profile of Pupil Watch.

| One of the commercials won a medal at the New York International Advertising Awards. |
|
| Connexions
On a daily basis, Connexions has agreed to meet with the young people with whom we come into contact.
|
|
|
|
|
| In March 2004 Pupil Watch took part in an event organised by the Youth Offending Team and linked with representatives from Connexions in Birmingham City Centre to promote positive action for young people. |

Pupil Connect
Pupil Connect provide a one-stop point of contact for all agencies, for referral and advice. It sometimes takes direct action to track and connect with the most vulnerable children, while making best use of the available support services and inclusive education provisions.
