“These Standards are a starting point for further improvements in years to come.”

Join CYCJ to hear about how the Secure Care Pathway and Standards Scotland are helping to transform the secure care journey - and how we can support your organisation with implementation.

The Secure Care Pathway and Standards Scotland were introduced in October 2020, to improve the experiences of children and young people who are in, or on the edges of, secure care, leading to better and brighter outcomes.

Since then, at CYCJ we’ve been working with local authorities, secure care providers and a range of other stakeholders and corporate parents with responsibility for implementing the Standards to raise awareness and support implementation.

To share progress from one year in, and show how we can help, we’ll be holding an online session on October 5 for anyone who'd like to attend. This will give an overview of the Standards, why they’re important and the story so far, plus experiences shared by partners who are on the journey of implementation, the STARR group and the Scottish Government. There will also be opportunities for questions, and for participants to consider what the Standards mean for them and their agency.
