Questions to Sonia Brooks focused around the impact that the staffing of YCS is having on children receiving the education and support that they need to build positive foundations to support resettlement #AYMAutumnConference2023

The main message from today was the need and desire to ensure that less children are placed into custody and where those children are, that they are receiving the care and attention that we would want afforded to our own children, because they are our children Sonia Brooks

Grateful for the chance to speak today alongside others at the Assn of YOT Managers autumn conference. A chance to focus on improvement, transformation and partnership to help children and young people in custody get the support they need. My thanks to Jacqui Belfield-Smith MBE.
