The Participation Issue

CYCJ has shared a special issue of its e-bulletin celebrating all things participation. This includes everything the team are doing to include participation with young people in its work, including resources, research and events. It also features participation projects Youth Justice Voices and STARR. Meadow Murphy, a young artist, designed the banner for this issue and it was co-edited with Hannah Snow, a young person with experience of the justice system.
