@SteveCaseCrim @keithfraser2017 Me too, guys.

Brilliant to see the inaugural #ChildFirstLive!

I’ll be there next year!

[Nicky Hill @nickyjanehill]

Really pleased that this strong & ambitious Police and Crime Plan makes the explicit commitment to #ChildFirst building on the important work of @NealHazel & others that sets out what this could look like for MOPAC & in policing.

"It is essential that those who work with children, work to the most up to date evidence base, called Child First, to ensure we do all we can to prevent children offending. This is crucial to building safer communities with fewer victims."

[Youth Justice Board @_YJB]

The @ChildrensComm has published a report on children's involvement in the disturbances in 2024.

Steph Roberts-Bibby, Chief Executive of the YJB, says:

"We welcome the Children’s Commissioner’s report discussing the involvement of children in last summer’s disturbances. 👇🧵

[Nicky Hill @nickyjanehill]

The Met have made a commitment to Child First in their Children’s Strategy. Details of what this could look like in practice is explored by @NealHazel & colleagues in this report. If the police want to rebuild trust with children, this evidence summary is key & is relevant beyond London. https://t.co/J9fiw6V7n5

[Nicky Hill @nickyjanehill]

This is such an important piece of work which really leads the way for #ChildFirst in policing & police oversight.

Huge thanks to @NealHazel & his colleagues for their work on this.

I do hope all with an interest in children & policing read it.

@_YJB response to "stark" @HMIPrisonsnews survey of kids in custody. Chief Exec highlights need to focus on:

1. Problem of housing young adults with kids
2. Staff abuse of children

[Youth Justice Board @_YJB]

"There is a declining picture in the secure estate for children as shown in @HMIPrisonsnews’s Children in Custody Report today. Sadly, this is not one that can be fixed overnight and there are many contributors at play."
