Role
The Children and Young People's Centre for Justice (CYCJ) ensures 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, their families and communities. Based at the University of Strathclyde, we produce robust internationally ground-breaking work, embedding 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.
Current system changes including the Children (Care and Justice) Bill, Children’s Hearing Re-design, and potential increase in the Age of Criminal Responsibility starkly highlight the urgent need for a national intervention approach to increase workforce competence and increase community confidence in these changes. To successfully uphold the UNCRC, #KeepThePromise, and remove children from adult justice systems we need robust child-friendly alternatives.

To work with the CYCJ practice team to develop and deliver training to support a national developmental intervention approach, suitable for a wide workforce (police/education/social work-children and families & justice/residential and secure care/third sector/foster carers/health).
The approach will be built on the founding principles of UNCRC, the Promise, and the GIRFEC national practice model to ensure that it can be embedded within universal practice and be non-stigmatising/labelling.
The post holder should be experienced in supporting the development and delivery of training.
To be considered for the role, you will have a good honours degree and/or equivalent professional experience) in appropriate discipline. You will have sufficient breadth or depth of knowledge in the relevant discipline/s to contribute the existing work of the Department.
