Child of the North/Centre for Young Lives report warns thousands of vulnerable children at risk of criminal exploitation and urges Government to roll out Young Futures in disadvantaged areas

A new report published today (Friday November 29th) by Child of the North and Anne Longfield’s Centre for Young Lives think tank puts forward an evidence-based plan to provide targeted action to divert vulnerable young people away from criminal exploitation and harm by focusing on keeping children in school, rolling out mental health hubs in areas of disadvantage, and delivering better identification and support.
