About The Group :
District Commander for Adur, Chief Inspector Sharon Rowe chairs this group.
The group has a strong membership that includes: Sussex Police, West Sussex Education Welfare, the West Sussex Youth Offending Team, Social Services, Adur District Council, Heads of various Adur Schools, West Sussex Children's Fund and the West Sussex Drug & Alcohol Action Team.
