Pleased to share my new paper in The Police Journal on multi-agency working in missing children’s investigations. We identify 8 mechanisms shaping collaboration and offer theory-informed insights for strengthening safeguarding practice. https://t.co/tghkCGB4fr
Really pleased to contribute to this @educationgovuk study on CSAE, responding to the Casey Audit.
How we record harm shapes how we respond to it — and current systems don’t always reflect children’s lived experiences.

A literature review is NOT a review without a critical synthesis. But some scholars struggle critically evaluating the sources!
Here's my easy 5-step method ⤵
1️⃣ Theoretical Questions: Peek into the author's mind
2️⃣ Definitional Questions: Are things explained clearly?
3️⃣ Evidence Questions: Is the evidence strong?
4️⃣ Implication Questions: 'So what?'
5️⃣ Other Approaches: Read between the lines!

@lemnsissay ‘Running away from home… Theyre on drugs… ran away for a month… Was on drugs’ - screams vulnerability, potential criminal or sexual exploitation, abuse, trauma. Terrifying to think people think it’s them just ‘not reacting correctly’ whoaaaa
Me & @tomjvw23 are looking into violent media and its links to post-traumatic stress disorder. Please consider completing this 15-min survey. We would really appreciate your time and thoughts. Thank you!

Your results don’t matter if your discussion is weak.
You can’t publish on findings alone.
You have to tell us what they mean.
Your discussion section is your main argument
If you're stuck on the discussion section,
this is for you:
🧵1/ Are you a current or former children’s care home staff member?
We’re conducting a research project @LivUni to understand how care home staff respond to missing children — and we need your insight.
(Volunteers must be 18+ and have frontline or managerial experience.)
2/ Why take part?
🧠 Your experiences matter
📈 Your insights are shaping real change
🏛️ Our work is already informing policy & has featured in Welsh Government reports.
Help us improve responses to missing children. #ChildrensCareHomes#Safeguarding
