Description
This session brings together national leaders, academics, and practice experts to help us sense-check emerging insights from local partnerships and ensure the resource aligns with current national priorities, is grounded in best evidence, and does not duplicate existing or upcoming work.During the workshop we will:
• share emerging messages from local partnership discussions
• test early ideas for the structure and content of the resource
• identify gaps, risks, and opportunities
• understand relevant national publications or tools currently in progress
• draw on your organisation’s expertise to ensure the resource is high quality and sector-relevant
Please tell us why you participated in this external engagement, detailing the problem you solved (HEBCI)
I participated in this external engagement to contribute research evidence and practice insight to the refresh of national principles guiding responses to children and young people affected by sexual abuse and exploitation. The principles play a key role in shaping how practitioners across statutory and voluntary services identify harm, engage young people, and deliver support, yet they require periodic updating to reflect emerging evidence and lived‑experience perspectives. My involvement focused on strengthening the evidence base underpinning these principles—highlighting what is known about effective relational practice, participation, and service accessibility across diverse groups of young people. While I offered specific expertise on supporting neurodivergent young women and girls, my contribution formed part of a broader effort to ensure the revised principles are inclusive, research‑aligned, and practically useful for the workforce.| Period | 26 Jan 2026 |
