Issue details

GMCA have recently revised and launched a new GM Youth Justice Transformation Plan. As part of promoting the plan and beginning to drive implementation and delivery the Lead DCS for Youth Justice asked that an in-person event be held with partners to support this. We feel this is important to provide a chance for partners to come together, collaborate and identify how we can better work together at a GM level.

The event will be attended by Youth Justice Services, wider local authority colleagues who are key to delivery, GMP and GMCA. The CEO of the Youth Justice Board has agreed to attend to introduce the event to set the national context and Dr Alex Chard, an expert in research in this field, will also be in attendance to provide an input around his research into intergenerational violence and the impacts of this on young people.
