Experience

Leaders Unlocked

• Media Production

• Criminal Justice Project Coordinator

  • Apr 2021 - Present

  I currently lead on the co-productive Young Advocates project in partnership with the Alliance for Youth Justice which aims to put justice-affected youth voices at the forefront of youth justice policy; and the Youth Endowment Fund’s Youth Advisory Board which intends to help young people to enhance the YEF’s mission to reduce serious violence, through governance. I design and deliver workshops, presentations and training, support and facilitate social research, analyse primary data, and support young people aged 14-25 to do so, including through strengthening their leadership, research, public speaking and engagement skills. I work closely with partners to identify ongoing opportunities for participants' personal development and areas to embed youth participation. I write reports, funding updates and engage with various stakeholders in the justice sector to establish and maintain long-term, meaningful relationships between the young participants and the ‘decision-makers’.

• Youth Engagement Officer

  • Mar 2019 - Apr 2021

  I have facilitated discussions and workshops with underrepresented groups such as those at risk of school exclusion, looked-after children and other young people who have had disproportionate contact with the justice system leading to policy recommendations. I have done coproduction work with sixth form students surrounding school exclusions and teacher-pupil conflict within classrooms leading to a student-led teacher training day. I’ve also supported young leaders in collecting qualitative peer-research centred around the current function and effectivity of the welfare state and conducted primary data analysis of this work.
