The Centre about Child Exploitation and Victimisation works hard to raise awareness of child exploitation, create change and fight for the rights of the child.
Pleased to share that the UK Parliament Education Committee has accepted and published myself and @AimeeNeaverson work on the overuse of school exclusions as part of their inquiry into persistent absence and support for disadvantaged pupils. https://t.co/XZ7IwQ0ZBr

I'm proud of the work my @ARU_AHSS Undergraduate Dissertation students are doing at @AngliaRuskin with regard to #CountyLineGangs and I look forward to hearing their presentations at the annual @ARUcriminology Conference in two weeks.
Congratulations to my brilliant colleague, Dr Charlotte Herriott, on the publication of your new book "Sexual History Evidence in Rape Trials: Is the Jury Out?". Such an important discussion about the use of sexual history evidence in rape trials.

@AimeeNeaverson Absolutely honoured to be in attendance @AngliaRuskin today whilst presenting to your students the wonderful impact of Kickoff@3 & those involved, including young Rhiann. Delighted that volunteers from your university have already come forward wanting to give back & support 🙏🏾❤️
Absolutely fantastic talk today by @KickOffAt3. There was a real buzz amongst the students and many staying after to speak to Michael to learn more about getting involved. Highly recommend all Universities and Collages get @KickOffAt3 in to speak to your students. More to follow.
I'm pleased to have been asked to be a speaker at the @PublicPolicyEx Webinar today: 'Tackling Gang Crime'.
It's important that we engage with young people, schools and parents to raise awareness of the realities of County Line Gangs and label this as a Public Health Crisis.

@RadicalBarriste@abbielake_ 3/3 for the need of early interventions in schools for at risk young peole and the movement to end school exclusions! Together, hopefully we can do this! Thanks for your reply ☺️
Very interested to know if the TRUE realities of gang life are portrayed to young people in schools now days? If not, perhaps this is something that could be done to undermine the glamour and honour of gang lifestyle, that is often portrayed through social media? 🤔
@RadicalBarriste@abbielake_ 2/3 life would act in some way to reduce their potential involvement and in the instances where gang life is unfortunately the only alternative for young problem who are marginalised from school, police, society, etc. I am advocating
@RadicalBarriste@abbielake_ 1/3 Very true! I completely agree, we need a change in approach from a range agencies, I’m just curious to see what education was currently being provided to students, particularly those fortunate enough to have alternative options to joining gangs to see if the realities of gang
Our Youth Justice Service is systemically failing black & mixed boys (BM Boys).

Can you help? I have a student/recent graduate who has had her undergraduate dissertation accepted to present at an international conference in Hawaii in February - however, we need to secure funding to help offset the costs of attending. Any leads?
Today, @ARUcriminology students had the honour and privilege of having Knife Crime Expert, @ForensicLeisa, come and speak to them about her world class research on investigating and responding to Knife Crime - an extremely important issue! #KnifeCrime#Forensic#Criminology
I was pleased to be invited to give evidence this morning to the House of Commons Education Committee about how our care system fails too many children and what we @childrensociety believe needs to change. Thank you @halfon4harlowMP for inviting me to share our views @CommonsEd
Accounts like these are very common, it's a shame that in this case there was a lack of pastoral presence to pick up on these issues and make recommendations for appropriate support. Assigning a label to someone who is clearly struggling is so harmful.
