Name Young advocates for youth justice
Provider Alliance for Youth Justice and Leaders Unlocked
The Alliance for Youth Justice has recruited a team of young advocates aged 14 to 20 to create reports and inform changes in policy, service design and practice within the youth justice system, using their own lived experiences.
The project reflects a “nothing about us without us” principle according to Amania Scott-Samuels, criminal justice project co-ordinator for Leaders Unlocked. This means it is centred around the core belief that those with lived experience are best placed to create “positive long-term impact”.
Delivered by youth charities Alliance for Youth Justice and Leaders Unlocked with funding from BBC Children in Need, the young advocates project was launched in 2020 and has now entered its second phase.
