The coalition of more than 70 non-profit organisations works to advocate for positive change in the youth justice system in England and Wales.

The SCJY was formed in the 1990s, made up of a number of charities and organisations concerned with children, young people, and the criminal justice system. 

“We established a strong reputation as a respected source of informed and principled expertise in youth justice matters, and were routinely consulted by parliament, government and others on policy and practice,” AYJ director Pippa Goodfellow said.

The relaunch comes following the recruitment of Goodfellow as the group’s first director in 2019, which sparked a review of the future direction of the organisation.
