Children and young people in custody -Policy rationale
• SEND reforms put the individual needs of each child at the centre of a more simple and joined up system that focuses on helping them to achieve their best.
• Want to embed this principle for young offenders.
• Under current system, young offenders can enter youth custody without any records – officials have to start from scratch to determine their needs and education.
• Young offenders face difficulties and delays in securing assessments and support once released.
• Want to ensure that CYP with SEN have their educational needs met whilst they are in youth custody and are fully supported to re-engage in education on release.
