Reducing the Criminalisation of care experienced children and young adults

The Welsh Government published the  ‘All Wales Protocol – Reducing the Criminalisation of care experienced children and young adults’ in March.  

The protocol is for both devolved and non-devolved organisations in Wales and is jointly published with the Home Office and the Ministry of Justice. 

The protocol will help those who come into contact with care experienced children and young adults while carrying out their work, in sharing a common framework of principles and expectations informed by an approach that actively promotes children’s rights and which safeguards and promotes their wellbeing.

They want as many people as possible , including importantly, care experienced children, young people and young adults to know about the aims of the advice in the protocol. 

That’s why we they have shared  Youth Friendly  and Easy Read information about the protocol and also developed a short animation about the advice in the protocol.

Please help us to get the word out to everyone who works with care experienced children (up to 18) and young adults (up to 25).  You can do this by sharing the video and information with people who work with care experienced children and young adults.

Your help is also needed to share the video, Youth Friendly and Easy Read information about the protocol with children and young adults on social media and in any way that you can.
