National Youth Justice Conference 2025

The 2025 Youth Justice Conference, delivered in partnership with the Scottish Government and the National Youth Justice Advisory Group will take place in Stirling on the 11th and 12th June 2025. 

This year’s theme is ‘Childhood, Safeguarding and the Children’s Hearing System’. 

Keynote speakers Professor Carlene Firmin, Durham University and Grace Robinson, Blackbox Consultancy will help us to explore complex practice issues such as Contextual Safeguarding and Child Criminal Exploitation. With significant reforms to the Children’s Hearing System already underway, we will address some of the challenges and opportunities when it comes to supporting children in conflict with the law.

This event is a significant opportunity to network, build relationships, and learn from experts in the field, through a blend of plenary sessions, workshops, stalls. Book early avoid disappointment!
