Fantastic result at the RCJ yesterday - privileged to work alongside Amanda Weston KC and phenomenal Jennifer Twite. We represented a boy who was a victim of child criminal exploitation having been trafficked by a county lines gang.

closing address by Mrs Justice May at children’s rights conference
Fantastic closing by Mrs Justice May, judicial lead for children. It’s not about being “soft” but about complying with the law which says the welfare of the child is a principal aim, & requires us to understand the reasons (not excuses) for behaviour
