The Voice of the Child, Young Person and; Service User

By COMMUNITY OUTREACH, LATEST, YOUR EVENTSNo Comments

Whose voices are we really hearing? And what happens when we truly listen?

The 3rd DARDR/DVA & Criminal Justice Summit 2026 will bring together professionals, practitioners, community organisations, academics and people with lived experience to place children, young people and service users at the heart of the conversation.

Under the theme “The Voice of the Child, Young Person & Service User,” this year’s Summit will explore domestic abuse, violence, safeguarding, exploitation, trauma and criminal justice — but most importantly, how listening can move beyond consultation and become meaningful action.

📅 Friday 27 November 2026
📍 Brent Civic Centre, Wembley
💻 Hybrid Event | CPD Accredited

When Protection Becomes Possession
