About this event
- Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes
Children with any level of contact with the social care system, even if it’s as simple as a referral which goes no further, face a higher risk of getting a criminal caution, a conviction or even a custodial sentence than their peers.
The Centre for Justice Innovation and the Centre for Care are pleased to invite you to the launch of our new research report Safeguarding Futures: Reducing the risk of criminal justice involvement for children in contact with the social care system. This online event will lay out this groundbreaking new research on the risks that these children face and explore practical responses to mitigate these. Dr Anna Leyland, the lead researcher on the project will be talking through her findings as well as demonstrating a new tool which local authorities and police forces can use to explore the risks faced by children in contact with social care in their areas. She will be joined by Caroline Adams of the College of Policing who will look at the police responses as well as practitioners working directly to support children.
You can register for the Centre for Justice Innovation’s newsletter and to receive a copy of the report when it is published here.
We are grateful to ADR UK for their support of this work.
