Consultation on Establishment of a Regional Care and Justice Campus

Why we are consulting

The proposals for a regional Care and Justice Campus represent a significant change to the way in which we support those children and young people who require time within a secure environment and following their reintegration back into the community. 

The proposals detailed in the consultation document extend beyond the secure setting, to encompass wider community-based interventions. It is envisaged that a regional Care and Justice Campus will comprise (i) a Secure Care Centre made up of the existing Woodlands and Lakewood sites; and (ii) multi-agency satellite provision, including a step-down facility and community-based provision.  The consultation seeks your views on these service design proposals and on key principles which will underpin the operation of the Campus.

A child-friendly version of the consultation document, along with a short animation explaining the proposals, is currently being finalised.  This will be added to this page as soon as it is available.
