Our youth justice support is about supporting children and young people to make positive changes to transform their lives. Our strengths-based, relationship-based approach is led by children and young people. We successfully support young people to engage positively, or re-engage with education, their communities and families. Our policy work is focused around ensuring children and young people in conflict with the law have the support they need at the right time and that we view children in conflict with the law through a children’s rights lens.

We pride ourselves on providing wrap-around support to children, young people and families. Most of the children and young people experience challenges to engaging in education and raising their attainment.
It must encourage the child’s respect for human rights, as well as respect for their parents, their own and other cultures, and the environment. Includem’s trauma-informed approach supports victims and perpetrators of violent and aggressive behaviour. Often children and young people are both. Our scaffolding approach is aligned with The Promise, and we want to continue supporting the goal of ending exclusions for care-experienced children and young people and improving their attainment.

The mental health of children and young people is at risk from poverty, violence, trauma, social and digital pressures. At the same time provision for mental health services is stretched. We work with children, young people and their families to improve their mental health and wellbeing. Our early intervention model aims to promote the mental health of children, young people and families and prevent them from reaching crisis point.
