Developing young people while reducing offending is aimed at government departments, youth services and national voluntary organisations involved in youth crime work.
The conference will take as its starting point a research study undertaken by Nottingham Trent University and The NYA that mapped local authority youth service activities that impact on the reduction of youth offending. This uncovered a diverse range of good practice from projects targeting young people at risk of disengagement from school through to those at risk of re-offending. All delegates will receive a copy of this report.
As well as disseminating the report findings, the conference will enable participants to gather perspectives on the impact of targeted youth work from young people, youth services and youth justice services.
