This training is designed for those who are new to the area of children’s rights, and the care system in secure settings, including Young Offender Institutes (YOI), Secure Units, Secure Homes and Psychiatric Units.

What does it cover?

You will gain an overview of the secure estate and the experience and issues faced by young people.  You will learn the essentials of children’s rights (both Universal and those within The Children Act 1989) when supporting young people who have had their liberty
restricted.  You will practice mechanisms for achieving outcomes for young people through effective advocacy.  We also explore safeguarding, confidentiality and practice issues within the secure estate.
