CYP issues

New edition of newsletter for children and young people's advocacy organisations is now available.

By sharing some of the common issues from our casework we aim to keep groups and advocacy organisations informed about our work. They can then properly signpost people in need of help in the right direction.

We also hope that councils, school appeal panels and other bodies in our jurisdiction can learn from our experience.

This edition features case studies about child sexual exploitation and cases where the best interests of a child or young person has not been the primary consideration when decisions are made.

Visit the CYP issues page to sign-up for future editions.
