‘Representing care experienced children & young people in police custody: A good practice guide’ brings together practical advice, research and guidance, aimed at criminal solicitors, practitioners, and children and young people themselves. It is based on a paper from the Howard League for Penal Reform and the Youth Justice Legal Centre, part of Just Kids for Law, with input from Youth Just Us and Scottish solicitors.
The launch event will share the voices and experiences of those who contributed to the guide, with opportunities for discussion.
Speakers include:
Irina Beaton (Scottish Child Law Centre)
Fiona Dyer (CYCJ)
Beth-Anne Logan (Chair of STARR)
Gillian Mawdsley (Scottish Law Society)
Claire Sands (Howard League for Penal Reform)
Although primarily for criminal solicitors who represent looked after children in police custody, this event is open to anyone with an interest in this area. Please register at:
