On the first day, delegates shared their progress since they last met, discussing barriers and successes. We also discussed effective early intervention strategies and the future priorities for the academy.

On day two, the College of Policing led the agenda, which focused on supporting delegates to design and commission effective evaluations of the work they are driving in their force areas. Evaluation is critical to help us build a strong evidence base around system change and other innovative work in order to re-focus local activity around early intervention.
