- Disability Matters for Youth Criminal Justice
- Description:
-
The Disability Matters e-learning programme provides a wealth of information relating to the provision of high quality care for disabled children and young people who find themselves in the youth criminal justice system.
Working closely with Sunderland Youth Offending Team, we have selected eight e-learning sessions to act as a helpful starting point for all professionals working with the new AssetPlus framework.
The learning package focuses on topics that support the addition of Speech, Language and Communication Needs, Neurological Disability, Learning Disability and Autism to the updated tool.
The topics cover:
Communication Matters in the Legal System:
Learn how to enable best communication and best evidence with disabled children and young people involved in legal proceedings as victims, witnesses, defendants or as parties in civil or family proceedings.Understanding Matters for Effective Communication:
Learn how to better communicate with children and young people with Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN), learning disabilities, social communication difficulties and Autism Spectrum Disorders.Hidden Disability:
Many disabilities are not always apparent from how someone looks or presents. Discover how such disabilities may still have a huge impact on the individual, their family and others they meet and interact with.Autism Spectrum Matters:
Deepen your understanding about some of the specific challenges faced by children and young people on the autism spectrum and their families.Learning Disability Matters:
Better understand the challenges faced by learning disabled children, young people and their families. It includes positive examples of good practices that have been helpful in improving their experience of everyday activities and accessing services.The Different Meanings of Behaviours:
Learn about the possible different meanings of behaviours seen in disabled children and young people from a variety of perspectives.Responding Positively when Behaviours are seen as Challenging:
This session introduces positive behaviour support (PBS), an evidence based approach to meeting the needs of people whose behaviours are seen by others as challenging.Sexually Concerning Behaviours Matter:
This session will investigate the issues surrounding the sexual development of disabled young people and explore when it is appropriate to be concerned about sexualised behaviours. It also provides helpful advice on red flags (relevant if a young person enters the justice system in this context) and the need for professionals to be able to assess capacity / understanding of the young person as part of their response to the behaviour in question. - Hierarchy:
