VOICES from Leicestershire Cares Jacob Brown

This month on All Things Youth Justice: Chikodi and Jenny sit down with Janik from the Fryday Podcast to discuss the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people and the positive impact it can have.

The peer researchers on the Joining Up Joining In project have shared the findings of the report - Should Care Experience be a Protected Characteristic . The findings of the report highlighted the views of care experienced young people in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. There is strong support for care experience being a protected characteristic (93%). The significant themes that came out of the work were:
- personal experiences
- stigma and discrimination
- impact of trauma
- lack of support

Join Chikodi and Jenny on the Youth Justice podcast as they delve into the connection between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and crime with special guest, Crae community navigator from the Phoenix program, sharing his real-life experiences.
