Transforming Youth Custody: Putting education at the heart of detention, MoJ (2013)
Overview
‘Transforming Youth Custody: Putting education at the heart of detention’ describes the Government’s plans for placing high quality education at the centre of youth custody. Plans to reform youth custody will see young people appropriately punished while at the same time learning to take responsibility for their actions and gaining the skills and qualifications they need to lead productive, law-abiding lives. The paper invites views and outline proposals from a wide range of stakeholders and providers describing how they would implement our vision for Secure Colleges.
The consultation paper covers:
- key information on youth custody and the young people held there;
- the case for change;
-
our vision for Secure Colleges which place education at the heart of the system.
The main areas for consideration by all respondents are:
- tailoring education to young people in custody;
- meeting the wider needs of young people in custody;
- closing the gap between custody and community;
- the physical environment and meeting demand;
-
a focus on outcomes.
All responses should be submitted by 30 April 2013. We will be unable to consider responses (including outline proposals) received after this date.
Responses and outline proposals can also be submitted to:
