Help us develop a Collaborative Network

The Children and Young People’s Centre for Justice (CYCJ) is developing a Collaborative Network of organisations who are working with 12-16 year olds who have experience of the justice system.

This network will include organisations that provide services like advocacy, throughcare and aftercare support, and youth work.

We hope that the Collaborative Network will be an opportunity for children and young people to contribute to policy development, access new participation opportunities, and get involved with improving experiences of the justice system.

If you are aged 12-16 and have experience of the justice system, we’re keen to hear from you about how you think this network might be able to help you and others who have similar experiences. To help you do this, we have created an online survey where you can share your views.

This survey is designed to give you an opportunity to share how you think the Collaborative Network could help you.  You can ask an adult to read through the survey with you and help you decide if you’d like to complete it.
