The Children and Young People’s Centre for Justice (CYCJ) works towards ensuring that Scotland’s approach to children and young people in conflict with the law is rights-respecting; contributing to better outcomes for our children, young people and communities. We produce robust ground-breaking work by bringing together children and young people’s contributions, research evidence, practice wisdom and system know-how to operate as a leader for child and youth justice thinking in Scotland and beyond.

CYCJ recently secured funding through The Promise Partnership Fund to develop our Reimagining Justice Service. ‘Reimagining Justice’ combines opinions, knowledge, and experiences of everyone involved to create a comprehensive understanding of what will be effective, meaningful, and sustainable for services to meet the needs of children and young people in conflict with the law. The service has a specific aim to; Remove children and young people up to age 26 from adult courts through designing an alternative with children and young people to allow their meaningful participation.
