The latest edition of CYP Now looks at how practitioners working with disadvantaged young people are tapping into their hidden talents to help them overcome adverse childhood experiences.
It includes a case study on the strengths-based programme in Sefton which is working with teenagers at risk of offending or struggling at school.
The twelve-page special report on trauma-informed practice examines how therapeutic interventions can build resilience in young people to help overcome trauma.
There is an in-depth analysis on how the new local safeguarding system will work when it is launched shortly. Experts say it should improve regional partnership working and lead to more thematic reviews of child deaths.
In addition, a guide has been launched to help schools and further education colleges meet careers guidance standards for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities.
