Yesterday was an important day. Supported by the United Nations, it was a day focused on promoting the dignity, rights, empowerment and independence of older people in all our communities.

Stop focusing on the crimes of organised criminal gangs and how they coerce young people. Stay focused on the crime against the child — a child.

This is not about wrapping all the services around the justice system. It is about wrapping services around the most vulnerable children and families. There are fantastic examples of such work. I have personally been engaged in work with a wrap-around service that involves the PSNI, the Probation Board and community…
