Understanding age: presentation to CPC/ASP joint meeting

This presentation was delivered in April 2024 to a joint child protection / Adult Support and Protection meeting. Children and adults are defined in different ways in legislation. While ASP is applicable to someone over 16, child protection may be applicable up to the age of 18. In theory, therefore, both ASP and Child Protection guidance can apply to 16 and 17 year olds. This presentation gives an overview of that overlap and the interface between these two areas of support. It also covers the experience of working with 16 and 17 year olds from a practitioner perspective.
