The pandemic has affected many aspects of our lives, and now a new research project is assessing the impact of Covid-19 on each stage of the youth justice system.
The project – a partnership between Manchester Metropolitan University and the Alliance for Youth Justice and funded by UK Research and Innovation – is exploring the impact of the pandemic on adaptations to working practices, barriers and enablers to effective practice, children’s experiences and views of these adaptations, and the lessons learned for policy and practice.
Taking the Greater Manchester region as a case study, the research team have been working with youth offending teams (YOTs) across the region to understand how they have adapted contact arrangements with children; the strengths and limitations of remote working, and what the future looks like for the youth justice system in a post-covid world.
