Children and Youth At-Risk Table (CHART)

See how the Children and Youth At-Risk Table initiative operates.

The Children and Youth At-Risk Table (CHART) is a proactive initiative that supports children and youth before they show negative behaviours or get involved in criminal activity. CHART also supports those who may already be exhibiting anti-social behaviours or be at-risk of gang involvement.

CHART is one of the 11 SAFE programs and involves 15 partner agencies collaborating weekly to identify at-risk children and youth and support them as well as their family with a tailored and coordinated intervention plan.

CHART Accomplishments to Date

  • By the end of March 2023, 197 total CHART meetings had taken place accepting 517 at-risk 6 to 19 year-olds.

  • 465 of these children and youth had been closed by the end of March with 329 (71%) concluded as experiencing a significant reduction in risk for gang involvement.

  • The average age of a CHART client remains 14 years old with youth identifying as male representing 57% of all clients.

One of the original targets of SAFE was to increase programs and services in the neighbourhoods of Newton, Guildford, and Whalley. CHART has identified risk in these neighbourhoods as well as other pockets of Surrey and we are pleased to share that partners are providing services throughout the city.
