REIMAGINING JUSTICE WITH CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE: BUILDING RIGHTS-RESPECTING SERVICES TOGETHER
Systems thinking | Service design
Children and Young People’s Centre for Justice (CYCJ)
Reimagining Justice is a programme of transformational change to help redefine services for children and young people on the cusp of or in conflict with the law in Scotland.
The need
Over recent years, Scotland has been working towards systemic change to help improve services and support for children and young people – for example, through The Promise and by incorporating the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) into Scots law.
Our response
In recognition of the significant changes organisations will have to make in the coming years to develop and further align with rights-based approaches to support children and young people, CYCJ is guiding organisations and local authorities through implementing a service design approach (based on the Scottish Approach to Service Design). Dartington is closely supporting CYCJ to help ensure that children, families, and carers are at the heart of designing meaningful change and to facilitate developing and sharing skills in collaborative design within the sector.
