@POferriesupdate @POferriesupdate is this expected all weekend? Or just today it’s a problem?

[YJworker @YOT_worker]

What are others experiences of 18 year olds transferring from YJ to Probation? I’m finding recognition of immaturity, learning needs, neuro divergence etc is lacking. ‘They’re an adult so they just have to get on with it’ is the attitude.

[YJworker @YOT_worker]

@Nacro I completely agree @Nacro but this won’t work without a fully functioning Probation service to provide the much needed rehabilitation.

@jdenicholls @timleunig It is that hard though. It’s not just ID it’s photo ID.

So important! 🧡

@DrKathyHampson @AssnYOTmanagers @sfcreaney @SteveCaseCrim @YJLCUK @_YJB Not as such. Had some interesting discussions about rehabilitation though…. Not with just YJ practitioners so views have been varied.

@bespaceaware Doesn’t seem like that memo was sent to police!

[Simple Politics @easypoliticsUK]

He was speaking to Sky News today and was asked about rising retail theft.

[YJworker @YOT_worker]

@easypoliticsUK I don’t actually know where to start in a response to this!

[Youth Justice Legal Centre @YJLCUK]

Check out our new legal update by @ElenaPapamicha3 @gardencourtlaw on the recent R v ADG BIJ 2023 judgment which highlights ongoing failures in protecting children under the Modern Slavery Act 2015. The Court of Appeal quashed the convictions, emphasising the need for better understanding and representation of children facing exploitation https://t.co/TnqJHCWMtU

@TenderUK @TheNewsAgents I listened to this earlier and it’s an amazing episode. Such important issues raised. I hadn’t heard of @TenderUK previously so it was good to hear about the work that they are trying to do.

“A masculine role model of gentleness is so much cooler and hotter… Harry styles is a very attractive man, he’s not remotely aggressive.”

“The NHS, CAMHS, they are overrun. If the people that need to listen aren’t listening yet, it’s up to us to make them hear it. Nothing is going to change unless everyone gets involved in this.”

@ComJusScot @HopeCollective2 @karynmccluskey @TheScotsman Some of the best conversations happen during those longer UPW / reparation sessions. Definitely don’t get those opportunities in custody.

[YJworker @YOT_worker]

@YJLCUK thank you for a thought provoking afternoon. Great speakers and good to meet so many passionate youth justice professionals as well #yjlcsummit23

A reminder:

Protective-factor parents are still being blamed by safeguarders for their child's Countylines exploitation.

These children aren't "beyond parental control".
They are in perpetrators' control.
Yet parents are the punchbag, with no contextual safeguarding in sight.
