SCYJ agrees:

- Untargeted stop & searches risk increasing the number of children in the CJS

- We want to see a commitment to directing resources away from stop & search, towards more effective interventions
SCYJ agrees:

- As schools manage tight budgets, pressures to provide support to children at risk of harm has increased. Class sizes increased, staff numbers fallen & special educational needs teachers, pastoral support, counsellors & detached youth workers have all been lost
