In the latest episode of the AYJ’s podcast series, we spotlight on the ground-breaking new report ‘The Life of a Top Boy’, which centres the perspectives of young Black men about trauma and violence in the community.

This week the AYJ says goodbye to Pippa Goodfellow, who has been the AYJ’s Chief Executive for the past five years.

The AYJ is delighted to announce that the Charity Commission has registered us as a charity, following our recent application and has been entered onto the Register of Charities.

This second report from the Young Advocates Project presents findings from engagement with 90 children and young people across England and Wales, and focuses on the three priority topics of criminalisation, policing, and intervention and diversion. The aim was to explore the routes into the justice system for young people, as compared to pathways out and away from it.

This is the second report from the Young Advocates Project, which has been co-produced by children and young people with first-hand experience of the youth justice system.
