A 1-day professional CPD event supporting practitioners.

How can we respond more thoughtfully with and for children and young people who find themselves involved with the criminal justice system? Are there ways we can work to help intervene before justice processes are necessary? We know that our care experienced population are over-represented in the justice system and within our prison estates, and yest behind those statistics there are a huge range of relational, innovative, creative and responsive services and practice ‘out there’ across our sectors.  This event focussed specifically on these themes, inviting us to reflect on how our understanding or and approached to trauma, underpin and inform our work and systems – to reduce criminalisation, and to ensure that when justice processes are necessary, that these are thoughtful and joined up with other disciplines.

The event will hear from those with lived experience, practitioners from a range of disciplines, address systems and policy issues as well as highlighting examples of good practice with different profiles of need.  The event is suitable for a wide range of practitioners from all parts of the children’s social care, education and justice sectors.
