CYCJ works towards ensuring that Scotland’s approach to children and young people in conflict with the law is rights-respecting, contributing to better outcomes for our children, young people and communities.
We produce robust internationally ground-breaking work, bringing together children and young people’s contributions, research evidence, practice wisdom and system know-how to operate as a leader for child and youth justice thinking in Scotland and beyond. This strategy identifies nine priority areas of work for CYCJ to focus on during 2020-2025. It should be read in conjunction with the Research Strategy; Practice and Policy Strategy; and Participation and Engagement Strategy.
