Reimagining Secure Care - Pivotal new research from CYCJ
Created: 07/10/2024
News/Events Category: Children and Families
On Friday 25 September 2024, Children and Young People's Centre for Justice (CYCJ) published a series of reports outlining a transformative new option for the future of secure care in Scotland.
Drawing on extensive collaboration with stakeholders, practitioners, and young people with lived experience, these reports are the result of 18 months of work and provide a comprehensive roadmap for rethinking secure care, placing the rights and wellbeing of children at the heart of Scotland’s approach.
A Vision For The Future
This report outlines a co-designed vision for Scotland’s secure care, building on previous reviews and recommendations. It advocates for reducing the deprivation of liberty for children, emphasising community-based alternatives and needs-led support systems.
Key components include flexible community hubs, multi-disciplinary teams, and “Flex Secure” care environments, which offer adaptive, trauma-informed support. The vision aligns with Scotland’s legislative progress, such as the UNCRC Incorporation and Children (Care and Justice) Acts of 2024, and highlights the need for holistic, integrated support, workforce development, and collective action to create a rights-respecting care system for children and families.

Children and Young People’s Participation
The project team worked in collaboration with children and young people in, and with experience of, secure care and/or Young Offenders Institutions (YOI), their families and carers, as well as all relevant stakeholders who contribute to supporting children and young people before, during, and after secure care, or throughout alternatives to secure care.
Throughout the project, they had a total of 61 conversations with children and young people. This report outlines and explores the views shared with the project team by children and young people with lived and living experiences of secure care and/or YOI. These views were gathered through conversations throughout 2023 and early 2024
