In today's episode, we will be discussing Jobcentre Plus, the punitive approach that we have been seeing when it comes to supporting people back to work, and what this says about the UK's welfare policy.
In Catch22's manifesto, we are calling for the government to revolutionise Jobcentre Plus so that, alongside other employment related services, they become a place where people are supported into careers rather than placed into ‘any job.’
Joining Stella to discuss the issues around Jobcentre Plus and welfare policy is Tom O'Grady, Associate Professor of Politics at University College London.

The debate around fixed term recalls reflects the broader tensions within criminal justice policy between punitive and rehabilitative approaches, and between the imperatives of public safety and individual rights. These debates are particularly important when we are thinking about the context of rising prison populations in the UK, with concerns about the sustainability of the current system and the effectiveness of existing policies in reducing reoffending rates and supporting the rehabilitation of offenders.
To discuss the issues around fixed term recalls, Stella is joined by Miranda Shanks, Policy and Communications Manager for Justice and Education at Catch22.

Charity campaigning will never be as well-resourced as lobbying by the private sector. However, with increasing government cuts and the current cost-of-living crisis, the charity sector is working under increasing financial constraints, meaning charitable organisations have to be even more strategic in how they try to influence government policy.
In this episode, Stella is joined by Babs Williams, CEO of Frontline, and a public policy analyst, to explore different strategies for influencing government, and considerations that should be made.

In Catch22’s Manifesto, we are calling for the government to invest in ‘digital skills for work’ programmes for the UK workforce, to ensure that every person is equipped for the future world of work.
In today’s episode, Stella is joined by Carolina Saludes, a Global Campaign Strategist at PwC, to explore the current challenges and opportunities in the UK job market, why digital skills and training and upskilling are needed for the future of work, and the use of AI in the wider labour market.

In this episode of Catch22Minutes, we’ll be exploring the problem with short term prison sentences.Last month, Justice Secretary Alex Chalk, announced that there will be a new legal presumption that offenders facing jail sentences of under 12 months will instead be given a community sentence. This is welcome news for many working in the Criminal Justice sector, as removing short term prison sentences has been at the top of the agenda for many organisations and politicians.Joining Stella to discuss short term prison sentences, and why they do not work is Harvey Redgrave, Chief Executive of Crest Advisory, and Trustee and Catch22.Learn more about our Manifesto: https://bit.ly/3F7KCf3

In this episode of Catch22Minutes, we’ll be discussing the campaign to make care experience a protected characteristic under the Equalities Act 2010.
Many care experienced people face discrimination, stigma, and prejudice in their day-to-day lives. Public perceptions of care experience centre on the idea that children are irredeemably damaged and that can lead to discrimination and assumptions being made. We want to see the next Government commit to supporting care experienced young people through bold national policies, so they are given the best chance to succeed in life.
Joining Stella to discuss is Terry Galloway, Trustee of NYAS and Become, co-founder of Care Leaver Offer, and campaigner for equal opportunities for people who are in or have experience of care, and Hannah McCowen, manager of the National Leaving Care Benchmarking Forum.

In this episode of Catch22Minutes, we’ll be discussing the topic of green skills. As we say in our manifesto, we want to see the next government commit to ensuring the UK is a true skills hub, identifying the skills required for jobs of the future and equipping the workforce to meet those needs. Specifically, we are asking the government to increase the number of green skills training courses and amend more courses to be green, such as lifetime skills, boot camps and apprenticeships.
To discuss the importance of green skills and jobs of the future, Stella is joined by Jeevun Sandher, Head of Economics at the New Economics Foundation, and the Labour Parliamentary candidate for Loughborough.

For millions of people in the UK, drug taking is a normal day of everyday life, from drinking alcohol or caffeine, to taking a paracetamol for a headache. For some though, drug taking is a serious problem, often having a devastating effect on the individual’s life and the lives of those around them. Latest statistics show that over 20% of people the age of 16-24 have taken an illicit drug. Around 7% are known to have taken a Class A drug, deemed to be the most dangerous, and around 18% have taken cannabis, a Class B drug.
In today’s discussion we explore how much of a problem substance misuse is amongst young people. We ask what can be done to support young people struggling with substance misuse, and how the often conflicting messages in the media about what is and isn’t harmful can cause challenges when tackling drug and substance misuse.
Joining us for this discussion is Julie Poling, Service Manager for Hampshire 24/7 Young People’s Substance Misuse Service, and Katy Bumstead, Service Manager for Surrey Young People’s Substance Misuse Service.

In this episode of Catch22Minutes, we take a look at how we can rethink the approach to young people's mental health services through one of our own services, The Hive. The Hive is a free mental health and wellbeing service that supports all young people age 16-24 in London. Based at The Hive building in Camden, they support young people with mental health, personal development, health and wellbeing, sexual health, employment and education, and substance misuse. The Hive delivers support in a combination of 1 to 1 sessions, group work, a sexual health clinic, and crucially, through a social hub. Essentially, the Hive delivers mental health support to young people in a very different way.
To explore The Hive model and to discuss its effectiveness, we are joined by Krystal Donaldson, Service Manager at the Hive, and Katie Clayton, Clinical Team Lead for Camden and Islington NHS Trust.Join in the conversation at #catch22minutes and visit our website at catch-22.org.uk

In this episode of Catch22Minutes, we’ll be exploring what safeguarding actually means in practice and why it’s so important. We’ll also be looking at the inequity that can occur in safeguarding and ask why some groups are sometimes safeguarded better than others.
Safeguarding involves taking measures to protect the health, wellbeing, and human rights of individuals. This allows young people, children, and vulnerable adults to live free from abuse, harm, and neglect. When safeguarding goes wrong, the consequences can be catastrophic, but when it is done well, it allows some of the most vulnerable in society to live safely and to thrive.
We are joined by the Directors of Listen Up Janine Davis and Daniel Morris. Listen Up’s mission it is to amplify the experiences of minorities and marginalised children and young people until all children are seen, heard, and protected.

In this episode of Catch22Minutes, we’ll be discussing county lines. For children and young people who are victims of county lines activity the impact on their lives, and the lives of those around them, can be devastating. We know that grooming techniques are becoming more advanced, and that escaping the clutches of these perpetrators can be incredibly difficult. What techniques are perpetrators using to lure children into county lines activity? Why are victims seemingly getting younger? What is being done to support children and young people being caught up in county lines activity? And what can be done to tackle it?
We are joined by Johnny Bolderson, Senior Service Manager for Catch22’s County Lines Support and Rescue Service, and James Houghton, Safeguarding Operational Lead for the British Transport Police’s County Lines Taskforce.

In this episode of Catch22Minutes, we'll be discussing the topic of online harms. The online world presents huge opportunities for finding purpose, connection, and community. Our world heavily relies on the internet in order to find work, to connect with services, to be entertained, to keep in touch with loved ones. But the online world can also present significant risks for children and young people. It’s a fast moving space, and the threat of online grooming and exposure to harmful content is undoubtedly growing.
We are joined by Vicky Young, Senior Helpline Manager at the Lucy Faithfull Foundation, and Sarah Parker, Research Development Officer for the Young People, Families, and Communities Hub at Catch22.

In this special episode of Catch22Minutes, we take a break from our third series to discuss constructive resettlement. Constructive resettlement is an evidence-based framework that empowers practitioners to support children and young people on their own personal journeys, enabling them to shift their identities away from crime and towards a positive, pro-social future.
In this episode, Judah Armani, our partner from public service design practise, interviews Helen Dyson and Naomi McGrath; Helen Dyson is the Director of Justice and Health and Business Development at Nacro, Naomi McGrath is the Senior Operations Manager for Social Justice and Rehabilitation at Catch22.
Judah, Naomi and Helen explore the 5 C’s which enables constructive resettlement: (constructive, co-created, customised, consistent and co-ordinated), as well as the importance of these in the successful rehabilitation of children and young people.

In this episode of Catch22Minutes, we'll be discussing the topic of care-leavers and criminalisation. Why is it that while care-leavers aged 16-18 make up less than 1% of the under-18 population, estimates suggest that over 25% of young offenders, and over 50% of people in secure children's centres have been in care. What are the factors that mean young people in care are more likely to be criminalised than those outside the care system? What support is available to them? And ultimately, how can the numbers of care-experienced children and young people being criminalised be reduced?
We are joined by Ben Twomey, Director of Policy and Communications at the National Youth Advocacy Service (NYAS), and Victoria Odude, Steering Group Representative at the Young People's Benchmarking Forum (YPBMF).

In this episode of Catch22Minutes, we explore how and why children go missing, how it can be prevented, and the signs that a missing episode may be linked to exploitation. We cover what to do if you’re worried that a child is missing, and discuss the response to missing children, including the good, and not so good, practice that can make a real difference as to whether a child goes missing again.

Catch22 traces its roots back to the late eighteenth century and lays claim to the initiation of a range of public services from education to probation. For many of the statutory services we know today, they started off as ideas and then became services delivered by private and voluntary organisations – such as Catch22.
Today host Josie Cochrane is joined by Catch22’s former CEO Chris Wright. From his early days as a social worker to leading Catch22 through the immense changes for nearly two decades, he’s been a huge advocate for the power of social enterprises and the importance of public sector innovation. As he hands over the reins to Catch22 CEO Naomi Hulston, we talk about public services, the changes he’s seen over the years, and the future of public sector procurement.

‘Hidden victims’ are people who do not access victim services, even though these services are free and independent of the police. Hidden victims are not included in official crime statistics. From those dealing with homelessness or domestic or sexual violence to those who are very young or elderly, their under-reporting means funding does not get sufficiently allocated to these groups of particularly vulnerable groups.
At the same time, the term ‘victim’ too often feels disempowering to those affected by crime. How do we better reach those in need of support? And what can we do to empower all victims in today’s justice system?
To discuss this, Catch22Minutes host Josie Cochrane is joined by Emma Jones, Catch22's Director of Victim Services, and Millie Gant, Juniper Lodge Manager - a sexual assault referral centre based in Leicestershire.
