In our Call for Evidence last year many adults and organisations provided their thoughts and suggested examples of good practice. We have followed up on these through round tables, webinars and visits. The Commission wanted to hear from as many children and young people as possible through focus groups and the Call for Reflections.
The Call for Reflections contained a number of resources for use with children and young people of different ages through schools, church groups and other youth groups (these can be reviewed below). The responses we have received will enable us to see whether children and young people share the same views as those expressed by adults and, importantly, to learn what matters to them. Commission Members joined in some of the activities with children and young people in their local areas to listen and learn.
In the first of our briefing papers, we hear from the voices of young people who have experienced the family justice system.
