The children’s services sector is anticipating a range of new policy announcements that will affect roles and training following the election of a new Labour government in July.
A Crime and Policing Bill, announced in the recent King’s Speech, includes a Young Futures programme to support children at risk of involvement in crime.
This includes a £95mn investment in local youth work hubs offering young people support from professionals including youth workers, mental health practitioners and careers advisers.
