We also have a duty to provide interventions designed to assist young people to manage and reduce the likelihood
and/or continuation of risk and abuse.
The LINX Programme
The theme underpinning the programme is the link between young people’s experiences, how they feel as a result of this and the subsequent
impact on their offending behaviour
Walk The Line- Debrief.
What does a young person learn from this exercise?
As professionals what can we also learn from this exercise?
Summary of workshop activity.
Using experiential exercises allows us all to ‘learn’ in a different way.
For many young people this approach feels like ‘fun’ not learning.
