Meet your keynote speakers! With almost a week until the National Youth Justice Conference we’re excited to reveal this year’s keynote speakers. 📣
We are delighted to be hearing from Luke Billingham on Day 1. Luke brings a wealth of experience with him from his role as a youth worker at Hackney Quest, an independent charity based in North East London, and as an academic researcher at the Open University. We’re very excited that he can join us for this year’s conference!
Our Day 1 afternoon keynote speaker will be Andrew Nichols-Clarke, Head of Health & Justice Children Programme, NHS England. We are very much looking forward to his presentation on the Framework for integrated care, complexity, collaboration and compassion. We're sure that his presentation will be much anticipated by our delegates!
Day 2 of will be kicking off with a presentation from Professor Clare Allely. We’re honoured that Clare is joining us to deliver a keynote to delegates, bringing her expertise from her role as Professor of Forensic Psychology at the University of Salford. We’re looking forward to listening to what is guaranteed to be a fascinating presentation.
Day 2’s afternoon keynote presentation will be delivered by Professor Nancy Loucks OBE. Nancy will bring her expertise from her role as Chief Executive of Families Outside, a Scottish charity that works on behalf of families affected by imprisonment. It will be brilliant to hear from Nancy whose wealth of experience will bring another perspective to the conference theme.
