This workshop explores the concept of ‘adultification’ from both a research and practice perspective. This session uses case studies, small group discussions and serious case review findings to explore how adultification manifests in practice and its potentially life-long impact. 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. This session is designed for teams and organisations. This session can also be delivered as a stand-alone introductory session.
Session objectives include:
- Understand 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
- Reviewing findings from serious case reviews relating to child criminal exploitation
