Network to promote ACE-aware policing in Wales gets £6.8m

2 mins read Health Social Care Youth Justice
An initiative that uses intelligence on adverse childhood experiences (ACE) to support the police and youth justice agencies to provide early help to children and young people at risk of offending has been launched in Wales, backed by £6.87m from the Home Office.

The Early Action Together (EAT) ACEs learning network is an initiative between Public Health Wales and policing and criminal justice agencies, who will collaborate under a public health approach to tackling offending.

The programme aims to improve how the police responds to crimes involving children and vulnerable adults - with the aim of diverting them from the criminal justice system, and ensuring they have access to help and interventions earlier.

The network has been produced in partnership between EAT and the Royal Society for Public Health and was developed in consultation with a UK-wide advisory group.
