On the 2nd December, the Youth Justice Board (YJB), an entity responsible for overseeing the youth justice system in England and Wales, published a series of materials whose aim is to understand how racial disparity affects children and young people both in their early years and within the youth justice system.
This publication, updated from 2020, pulls together a wide range of verified data to shed light on these disparities which affect children and young people in their formative years, in areas such as health, education, and interaction with the police, placing particular emphasis on the youth justice system. These materials include a three-page infographic which summarises some of the main findings, a Prezi presentation with an audio recording from the YJB youth ambassador, an accessible version of the presentation, and blog by the YJB Chair, Keith Fraser.
