The day brings together young people from Birmingham, youth, community and safeguarding practitioners and researchers, faith and community leaders, and specialist support organisations to explore what joined-up support can look like across settings, including for young people once they reach the age of 18.
Our contributors to the project research and conference:
Young community researchers from Volunteering for Health and Youth Advisory Board from St Basil’s: young people who are co-creating knowledge and shaping the conference.
Dr Naomi Thompson, Reader in Youth and Community Work, Goldsmiths University of London, sociologist of youth and inclusion, with a particular interest in faith and other intersecting identities.
Yehudis Fletcher, PhD researcher at Durham University and author of Chutzpah, speaking from research and lived experience of leaving a high-control religious community.
