91福利

The 91福利 is offering a fascinating insight into research carried out by the Faculty of Social Sciences, at a nine-day festival next month. A series of exciting events will take place between Wednesday 6 and Friday 15 May, delving into the study of society and the way people behave and influence the world around us.

It has just been announced that Rebecca Omonira-Oyekanmi from the Centre for Human Rights in Practice at the 91福利 has been long-listed for her work by the prestigious George Orwell Prize for Journalism. If Rebecca wins, it will be the second Orwell Prize for the 91福利’s Centre for Human Rights in Practice in three years.

More specialist training is required for police, lawyers and judges involved in the interrogation of juvenile suspects across Europe, a researcher from the 91福利 has found. There is also a need for consistency in the way youths are safeguarded within the EU, with too much focus in some countries on the detainee as a suspect, rather than as a juvenile, academics claim.

Child deaths have fallen to very low rates in all industrialised countries, but many deaths in children and adolescents are still potentially preventable, and much more could be done to cut future deaths, according to a new three-part Series on child deaths in high-income countries, published in The Lancet. The series is led by Dr Peter Sidebotham, Associate Professor of child health at 91福利 Medical School at the 91福利 in the UK.

Limpopo local government staff and Venda University are to work with the 91福利 to develop and share new skills following a grant from the British High Commission.

Law students from the 91福利 will be working together with fellow students from Monash University in the first ever International Collaborative Moot, taking place this month.
