Webinar: Children Facing Sexual Allegations
30/09/2025
Allegations of sexual offences present unique and complex challenges for children accused of them. The stigma and potential for a lasting criminal record can have life-long consequences. Paradoxically, some of the very laws intended to protect children from exploitation by adults are now being applied to prosecute children themselves.

School Attendance Digital Conference
22/10/2025
The evidence is clear that every day at school counts. School absence was at 7.1% last academic year, a reduction from 7.4% in 2022/23, but still significantly higher than pre-pandemic rates (4.7% in 2018/19). Particularly concerning is that one in five children are now persistently absent (missing more than 10% of school days) and severe absence (missing more than half of school) has more than doubled since the pandemic.
