Adultification
INTRODUCTION:
This workshop explores the concept of ‘adultification’ from both a research and practice perspective. This session uses case studies, pre-recorded group discussions and serious case review findings to explore how adultification manifests in practice.
Participants are introduced to Listen Up’s Professional Inter-Adultification Model which provides a framework for individuals and teams to reflect on practice and guard against the adultification of children and young people.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
By the end of the course, delegates will:
- Explore notions of vulnerability and childhood and how these are applied to some children more than others;
- Understand the broad concepts of intersectionality and adultification;
- Identify ways to guard against adultification in practice;
- Review findings from serious case reviews relating to child criminal exploitation.
