| Summary: | Attached are the slides and link to the recording of the YJB live session from Lancashire and Lewisham concerning child participation and working in a child first way. |
In November 2020, Lancashire Youth Justice Service and Lewisham Youth Offending Service participated in the YJB Live session to talk about the work that they are undertaking around embedding child-first participation and co-production.
Lancashire YJS’s presentation is mainly concerned with the running of their child first diversion scheme, whereas Lewisham YOS describes how it has implemented and is working towards achieving a whole system approach that is child first when working with children across all key services.
The following link Child first – in theory and practice takes users to YouTube where you can view the live session.
The live session is split into three core areas:
- Introduction from professor Neal Hazel around child first guiding principles
- Presentation by Lancashire Child and Youth Justice Service ‘embedding child first participation and co-production’
- Presentation by Lewisham Youth Offending Service ‘child first – whole system approach’
Attached is the power point presentation used during the live presentation.
