Winners of the Children & Young People Now Awards 2010 announced

A group of looked-after children who produced a film about domestic abuse and a national campaign to change perceptions of young people with facial disfigurements were among the winners of this year's Children & Young People Now Awards.

Chatback Productions won both the Volunteering and Participation Award and the Stay Safe Award for its film Handle with Care at last night’s ceremony at the Royal Horticultural Halls in London. The film was created by a group of young people living in care in Dudley, West Midlands, and shows the impact that domestic violence can have on young people.

Other winners on the night included Staffordshire Young People’s Services’ Bumps and Babies project, which scooped the Early Years Award, and the charity Changing Faces, which won the Health and Wellbeing Award. The Bumps and Babies project provides young mums who might not ordinarily access services with a structured programme of support, while Changing Faces won a prize for its campaign to change attitudes to children and young people with facial disfigurements. In total, 22 awards were handed out on the night.
