Youth Justice: The experience of Welsh children in the Secure Estate, 25/02/10 [W]

The National Assembly for Wales’ Communities and Culture Committee has published the report of its inquiry into Youth Justice in Wales.

The Committee recommends that Youth offender institutes and secure children’s homes should be the responsibility of the Welsh Assembly Government.

Other recommendations within the report include:

The Welsh Government should consider further improvements with support agencies to identify young people at risk of offending.
Review the use of custody and ensure it is only used in appropriate circumstances in line with the UN Convention on the Rights of Child.
Review availability and suitability of bail accommodation for children and young people in Wales.
Consider the potential implications of raising the criminal age of responsibility.
Working with local authorities, employment organisations and third sector bodies to increase employment potential for those leaving custody.

The report is available to download from the National Assembly for Wales’ website.
