Events

Children and young people who come into contact with the criminal justice system are often experiencing circumstances that extend far beyond offending behaviour. Their lives may be affected by trauma, exploitation, disrupted relationships, poverty, exclusion from education, substance misuse, peer influence, mental health and emotional wellbeing difficulties, or previous experiences of abuse and neglect.

Managers and practitioners need to consider what happened, whether everyone is safe, who needs to be informed, what actions are required, how the incident should be recorded and reviewed, and what needs to change as a result. This course explores the complete process of managing serious incidents, from the initial response through to review, organisational learning and improvement.
