Violence Prevention for Children’s Services

A Virtual Learning Café (VLC) run by the Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) as part of our YEF Evidence in Practice series.

Colleagues from across children’s services are invited to join a webinar run by the Youth Endowment Fund. This is part of a series of sector engagement events in advance of the publication of our children’s services practice guide in the summer of 2026.

The session will focus on the latest insights from evidence of particular interest to children’s services colleagues, and on the key areas of focus for the forthcoming practice guide: Child Criminal Exploitation and Extra Familial Harm, children in care and care leavers, and parenting and family therapy programmes.

Speakers include:

• Stephanie Waddell, Director, Making Evidence Work
• Gail Gibbons, Assistant Director – Children’s Services, Youth Sector & Neighbourhoods, Youth Endowment Fund

The event will run online using MS Teams on Tuesday 3rd February 2026, 10:00-11:00.
