This workshop is for you and will help you to gain a better understanding of the journey a young person takes when (s)he enters the Criminal Justice System. It will equip you with the knowledge to interact with young people about their sentence and the various challenges they may face with the English Legal System. You will also gain further knowledge of the role of the statutory agencies a young person would come into contact with throughout their journey.
