The supervision of care-experienced children within the youth justice system (PDF, 1.2 MB)

The focus in this bulletin is to provide evidence about care-experienced children’s involvement with YJSs from the perspectives of both professionals and children.

This research sought to provide evidence about care-experienced children’s involvement with YJSs from the perspectives of both professionals and children.

It looks at how YJS professionals understand care-experienced children’s needs and challenges and what barriers exist to working with them.

It also explores perceived success factors, roles and relationships with multi-agency partners, and the impact of policy instruments designed to reduce the numbers of care-experienced children entering the youth justice system.
