Sentencing young people - where next?

Join CYCJ and the Scottish Sentencing Council for a follow-up to January's highly successful webinar on Scotland’s guidelines for sentencing young people, which stimulated a great deal of discussion both during the event and afterwards.

This follow-up webinar, hosted by Krista Johnston, the Scottish Sentencing Council’s solicitor member, will feature the first public showing of a series of short animated videos currently being developed by the Council on the guideline’s key themes: maturity, rehabilitation, and the need for an individualised approach to the sentencing of young people.

There will then be a panel discussion with the three expert speakers who gave presentations in January (Dr Suzanne O’Rourke, Senior Lecturer in Forensic Clinical Psychology at the University of Edinburgh; retired sheriff David Mackie; and Kirsty Giles of the Scottish Violence Reduction Unit), followed by a Q&A involving the panel and members of the Council’s Sentencing Young People Committee.

Please note that joining instructions will be sent out to registered attendees 24 hours before the event. When tweeting about this event, please use the hashtag #CYCJwebinar
