1 May, 2020

'Minister of State David Stanton T.D., who holds special responsibility for Youth Justice, has launched an online consultation on how State agencies, including the Justice system, should engage with young people who are at risk of becoming involved in crime.

Views are sought from the general public, including young people, and the consultation will remain open for eight weeks. This is part of a wider consultation process to inform the development of a new Youth Justice Strategy to cover the period up to 2026.

The survey will collect opinions on a range of areas related to the draft strategy including the role of individuals and organisations in helping to prevent children and young people’s involvement in crime and on different approaches to dealing with those who have committed an offence.'
