Spotlight Series Presentation 3 – 1 July 2021 AYJA is excited to present the third video in the AYJA Spotlight Series entitled ‘Youth Week: Interviews from Young People in Custody’. This video focuses on giving the children and young people in youth justice an elevated voice by sharing their insights and experience in order to have their truth heard.
The role of the NSW Advocate for Children and Young People is to represent the voice of all children and young people in NSW. Children and young people in Youth Justice Centres have a right to be heard, like all children in New South Wales. Their voices need to be elevated, and we need to listen to their truth and do better. ACYP thanks all children and young people interviewed who shared their insights and experience. Their voices are heard in this video and led to findings and recommendations in the 2020 Exit Surveys: Youth Justice Report.
