CYP Now - In the August edition of CYP Now: 30 million word gap, gangs and CCE special

In the latest edition of CYP Now, early years expert James Hempsall assesses the evidence on the difference in communication skills between disadvantaged children and their better-off peers - dubbed the 30 million word gap.

He outlines the wide range of initiatives and programmes aiming to close the gap and help disadvantaged children catch up.

Also, a 12-page special report takes an in-depth look at the latest policy, practice and research on tackling gangs and child criminal exploitation (CCE).

Practice examples include tackling county lines gangs in Kent; how three councils in South Yorkshire are collaborating to address CCE; a youth gang mediation project in east London; and a national initiative using rugby to divert vulnerable young people.
