📢 Launch Announcement 📢 We are excited to share the Reimagining Secure Care reports, which outline a transformative vision for Scotland’s secure care system. These reports, commissioned by The Scottish Government and developed by CYCJ, advocate for a children-first, trauma-informed, and rights-respecting approach to secure care. Drawing on extensive collaboration with stakeholders, young people, and practitioners, these reports provide a roadmap for change — ensuring children's needs are prioritised in care and justice settings. From keeping children with their families to creating community-based, therapeutic environments, this is a bold step towards a more compassionate future. https://lnkd.in/ebH9h6YZ #YouthJustice #SecureCare #ChildrensRights #CYCJ #ThePromise #SocialChange #ScottishGovernment

We're delighted to see the Children & Young People's Centre for Justice (CYCJ) reports released today, advocating for a children-first, trauma-informed, and rights-respecting approach to secure care. This vision is bold and presents a new future for children. Led by Katie Upsdale, our team collaborated on this project by bringing expertise in systems change and user-centred design. We generated rich #evidence, working with children and young people in - and with experience of secure care - and their families/carers, with a vision to affect change at a national level. We know that place-based, systemic change can be complex. It requires working differently, working in equity at the grassroots levels, and sharing system-learning and decision-making opportunities with those impacted in the community. We hope that this roadmap for change is a bold step towards a more compassionate future for children and young people. #vision #children #families #future #systemschange #national #policy #youngpeople #ThePromise #collaboration #securecare #caring
