CYP Now - NCB Now: Healthy Outlooks for secure settings

As part of work conducted in secure settings, NCB identified a need for staff to feel better connected with the rest of the children's sector, particularly where practitioners work with the same young people across a range of services and areas.

To address this, NCB set up the Healthy Outlooks programme, which connects practitioners working with children and young people most in need such as children and young people in contact with the youth justice system, the care system or in supported housing.

The programme aims to increase awareness of support groups and improve partnership working. Practitioners can access vital resources to support their work including, teaching materials, reports, magazines and case studies. Free resources are available to order including, the Healthier Inside magazine, which provides information on improving the wellbeing of children and young people in secure settings and Playing with Your Child, which comprises a DVD and teaching materials for use with parents in custody. Healthy Outlooks also issues a free e-newsletter to ensure members are updated and to promote sharing knowledge.
