The theme this year will enable the sector to discuss working in partnership to improve outcomes for young offenders, supporting young women, tackling disproportionality, and look at techniques used to target niche but important demographics of young offenders.

Workforce experts Tam Whipp and Sharon Wilton will be holding a session on the agenda to talk about supporting youth justice to develop a resilient workforce through identifying a shared language. In this session, they will look at:

  • Exploring current and future workforce challenges within the youth justice sector
  • Establishing the need to support, nurture and develop those working in the youth justice sector – what workforce development means
  • Providing collaborative solutions to workforce development – creating shared language and understanding, aligning and standardising ways of working, designing transferable skills and knowledge
  • Delivering a future proof and resilient youth justice workforce in collaboration with stakeholders.

The conference will host speakers from across the youth justice system, including the Youth Justice Board for England and Wales, HM Inspectorate of Prisons, youth justice services in Bristol and London, Edge Hill University plus more.
