Submission to the Commission on Young Lives
Earlier this year, it was announced that former Children's Commissioner for England, Anne Longfield will be leading an independent review, hosted by Oasis Charitable Trust, to examine and identify solutions to transform the outcomes of the most vulnerable children and young people who are at risk of violence, harm, and criminalisation.
Recently, the Commission opened its 'call for evidence’, calling for contributions from frontline, service and system leaders and commissioners, and those with lived experience, to help identify trends, new practice models and gather ideas for practice and policy solutions.
At the AYJ, six principles for youth justice policy underpin our way of working. We have used these as a framework for our response to the Commission’s call for evidence which focuses on children in, or at risk of involvement in, the justice system. Thank you to all AYJ members who took the time to support our submission.
