“…pre-emptive prevention, prioritising diversion and enabling young people to access leisure and social activities) and, crucially, collaborative (e.g. promoting children’s meaningful participation in service design) (Creaney and Case, 2021; YJB, 2021; Peer Power/YJB, 2021, p. 70). The work undertaken by the football charity sector can be related to addressing unmet needs, which often includes promoting healthy development or providing educative support (see LFC Foundation 2021/22 impact report).…”

Purpose This paper aims to explore the purpose and outline the key features of Liverpool Football Club Foundation’s County Lines (CL) programme and how principles of collaboration and co-production can be implemented to educate children at risk of entering the youth justice system. Design/methodology/approach This paper reviews the findings from a 12-week CL intervention programme in 14 secondary schools in the Liverpool City Region between 2021 and 2022. The programme was designed in collaboration with funders, partners and participants and aimed to improve knowledge of, and change attitudes towards CL and its associated harms, including knife crime and child exploitation. Findings Knowledge and attitude changes were measured across 12 indicators, with positive changes recorded for each indicator. Perhaps of most interest to those working in the sector was the recorded success in obtaining consistent attendance from beginning to end with very little erosion of engagement. This suggests that the content and method of delivery was successful in engaging harder to reach young people to make positive change. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first of its kind to examine how collaboration and co-production (two of the five principles of the Serious Violence Strategy 2018) can be implemented by a football charity and its partners to educate children in a local community on the harms of CL.

“…As such, participatory research with children prioritises the voice of the child to improve policy and practice. Children having voice is validated by international children's rights legislation (Muncie, 2009;Brown, 2020;Creaney and Case, 2021). Children's ages and ability have implications for participation levels but have been found to be more accessible for learning and physically disabled children (Aldridge, 2016).…”

Purpose This paper aims to provide reflective practice insights on the use of the participatory approaches of World Café and Forum Theatre as crime prevention education and research tools with young people and young adults through a social learning theory lens. Design/methodology/approach Four independent case-studies showcase World Café and Forum Theatre methodology. World Café events investigated new psychoactive substances (NPS) awareness with young hostel users and college pupils (N = 22) and race hate crime with school and college pupils (N = 57). Forum Theatre events explored loan shark crime with college and university students (N = 46) and domestic abuse crime with young hostel users and college and university students (N = 28). Anonymous survey data produced qualitative and descriptive statistical data. Findings Learning impacts from participatory crime prevention education and research events were evidenced. Participatory approaches were perceived positively, although large group discussion-based methodologies may not suit all young people or all criminological topics. Originality/value Participatory approaches of World Café and Forum Theatre are vehicles for social learning and crime prevention with young people and young adults; eliciting crime victimisation data; and generating personal solutions alongside wider policy and practice improvement suggestions. Whilst World Café elicited greater lived experience accounts providing peer-level social learning, Forum Theatre provided crucial visual role modelling for communicating safeguarding messages.

“…Approaches to practice should be rights-based and seek to ensure the active participation of justice-involved children. It is necessary for practitioners to be explicit that children’s participatory rights will be respected and promoted throughout their contact with the Youth Justice System (Brown, 2020; Creaney and Case, 2021). Indeed, involving children in discussions regarding their needs and access to bespoke forms of support, and taking account of their perspectives, is a central tenet of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) (Arthur et al , 2019; CYCJ, 2022, p. 3; Lundy, 2007; UNICEF, 1989; Weaver et al , 2019).…”

“…Co-production, as an organising principle, provides the scope to think through ways to transform the balance of power between children and practitioners. To address power inequalities and consequently enhance provision, it is vital that practitioners proactively seek to equip children with a sense of freedom to impart ideas (exercise agency/choice) (Article 12 of the UNCRC 1989) throughout all stages of system contact (Creaney and Case, 2021).…”
