Colleagues from across health, youth justice and wider safeguarding partnerships are invited to join a Virtual Learning Café run by the Youth Endowment Fund. This session forms part of our Evidence in Practice series, which sits alongside our Toolkit and provides an opportunity to hear from researchers and practitioners on relevant evidence and practice.
The Youth Endowment Fund’s mission is to prevent children and young people from becoming involved in violence. The YEF Toolkit highlights evidence based approaches that support prevention and early intervention across systems.
This session will explore the relationship between sleep, emotional regulation and violence prevention across health and Youth Justice contexts. The session will begin with insights from the YEF Toolkit and current research, highlighting evidence informed approaches to prevention and early intervention.
The main focus of the session will be practice. We will hear from clinical psychologists about the development and implementation of the CBT-informed Better Sleep Programme (BSP), including learning from scaling a manualised approach from CAMHS into children’s services and more recently Youth Justice Services. This will include reflections on implementation, adaptation across systems, and how regulation-focused approaches may support children and young people experiencing vulnerability and risk.
The session will conclude with reflection, questions and discussion, exploring the implications of this evidence and implementation learning for practice across health and youth justice services and partnerships.
We will be joined by:
- Nicki Bramford, Head of Change – Health, Youth Endowment Fund
- Chloe Lowry, Senior Research Manager, Youth Endowment Fund
- Dr Rebecca Rowlinson, Principal Clinical Psychologist, NHS (Better Sleep Programme Lead)
- Dr Rebecca Bealey, Clinical Psychologist NHS (Youth Justice Services)
The event will run online using MS Teams on Tuesday 10 March 2026, 11:00–12:30.
