justWhistle- Engaging vulnerable young people:what works?

Event Date: 7th March 2012

Location: Nottingham

The course was developed in response to recommendations from various case reviews and is based on the experiences of our colleagues in Safe and Sound Derby and other expert practitioners from around the UK.

The learning aims for the course are as follows:
• Understand why vulnerable young people are often difficult to engage
• Confront some of the stereotyping that creates barriers to effective communication
• Explore why young people experiencing sexual exploitation are especially difficult to engage
• Be aware of good practice, and other helpful links and resources
• Identify better ways to engage with hard to reach young people
• Plan how to transfer their learning into practice
