MoJ: Transforming Youth Custody Consultation

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) plans to reform youth custody will see young people appropriately punished while at the same time learning to take responsibility for their actions and gaining the skills and qualifications they need to lead productive, law-abiding lives.

The consultation invites views and outline proposals from a wide range of stakeholders and providers describing how they would implement the vision for secure colleges. The consultation paper covers:

• information on youth custody and the young people held there
• the case for change
• the MOJ vision for secure colleges which place education at the heart of the system
