Details

This publication, updated from 2020, pulls together a wide range of verified and published data to shed light on any disparities in a child’s formative years, health, education, interaction with the police and involvement in the youth justice system.

It contains:

  • a presentation which features an audio recording from our youth ambassadors (for best results use a modern browser like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge)

  • that summarises the main findings

Read this blog by Keith Fraser, YJB Chair and Board Champion for Over-Represented Children, to see why the YJB thinks this is important.
