CYCJ, in collaboration with the Centre for Lifelong Learning at the University of Strathclyde, have created online learning opportunities on a range of different topics. These interactive eLearning modules take approximately 4 hours to complete and are designed for professionals in the youth justice workforce responding to the behaviour of children and young people, that could be causing harm to others and bringing them into conflict with the law. Each instance of learning has been designed in collaboration with experts in that particular field to increase awareness for the learner in themes and topics relevant to this sector. Although each module has its own tailored aims and objectives, overall, learners can expect to gain a deeper knowledge of subjects whilst also enhancing skills that can be applied in practice. All modules will lead the learner through self paced, online learning, with interactive scenarios, reflective exercises and practical tools for immediate application. Each module costs £30 per learner, and can be combined with any number of other modules. The modules will be available to start shortly, however candidates can enrol using the links below:
Assessment and Formulation:
The Risk Management Authority (RMA) and the Children and Young People’s Centre for Justice (CYCJ) have produced this introduction to Assessment and Formulation in risk practice for children in conflict with the law. Understanding the ‘why’ behind behaviours for children and young people who find themselves in conflict with the law is central to effective risk practice and management. Key features of this learning instance are defining formulation as well as the key benefits of its use, recognising good vs poor formulation, using a case study to illustrate how formulation can inform our risk management plans and understanding the benefits of collaborative formulation.
