Child-Centred Policing in Practice: Examples, Barriers and Recommendations, 2023

Research conducted in collaboration with Police Now, Alliance for Youth Justice and Your Stance on how policing is conducted in the UK, focusing on how much and how well Child-Centred Policing is adopted by police forces.

In 2023, we hosted a Police Now graduate, Vickramarajah Shaarangan, to research Child-Centred Policing by speaking to police contacts from across the UK – looking at what it means, what good examples are there in practice and what are the barriers. This report is the outcome of this research, with recommendations for how it can be embedded further into policing.
