This was such a highlight for me of last year “Children’s Commissioners’ ambassadors chat with Jon Yates”. We chatted about crime and how we keep children safe.
🎙️In Episode 9 #TheBigConversation podcast, my Ambassadors Emmanuel, Penelope & Aaliya, speak to Jon Yates, Executive Director, @YouthEndowFund about youth crime and safety, focussed deterrence, social dynamics, gangs & how to support young people 👇

A thought-provoking presentation from Jon Yates from the @YouthEndowFund who shared some shocking statistics, and encouraged the room to challenge their processes and truly look at the evidence for what does and doesn’t work. 👏 #VRLE2023

Who gets a Hollywood megastar, the Prime Minister and two Cabinet Ministers in the same room to talk about reducing violence? Simple. The King. An encouraging 🧵 on a good day. (1/5)

We also launched the Serious Change Funders Partnership with the Lottery, Children in Need and Sport England. We will learn together, lead together and push for change together to keep children safe. (I'm trying to remember what Simon said to the King that made us all laugh!)

Much to do. Much of it very serious indeed. But today - amidst sombre reflections and joyous moments - were some signs of hope. Together, we can reduce violence - for all of our children. (End)
