The Big Conversation: In conversation with the Children’s Commissioner and her youth Ambassadors is my podcast series where I share the voices and views of England’s children.
The podcast draws on the themes in The Big Ambition and will focus on the most important issues that are impacting young people’s lives, with solutions developed with children from across England.
In Episode 9, my Youth Ambassadors Emmanuel, Penelope and Aaliya, speak to Jon Yates, Executive Director of the Youth Endowment Fund about young people’s safety, youth crime and violence, focussed deterrence, social dynamics and gangs. As well as discussing best times for intervention, empathy and what works to support young people.
