We will be returning to the Stirling Court Hotel on the 17 and 18 June for two days of plenary speakers, workshops and stalls, bringing together practitioners from across youth justice.
This year’s conference theme is Diversity, Inequality and Justice.
Our keynote speakers are:
- Day 1: Luke Billingham, Youth Worker & Academic Researcher, Hackney Quest & Andrew Nichols-Clarke, Head of Health & Justice Children Programme, NHS England
- Day 2: Clare Allely, Professor of Forensic Psychology, University of Salford & Professor Nancy Loucks OBE, Chief Executive of Families Outside.
They will examine some of the key structural, social and systemic challenges that impact on how children in conflict with the law experience the justice system, drawing on Scottish and UK wide evidence and practice experience.
This event is a significant opportunity to network, build relationships, and learn from experts in the field.
