| Summary: | Access to discussion sheets to support child who are on remand, specifically during COVID-19, produced by Wetherby young offender insitution. |
Description:
Wetherby young offender institution, NHS England and Novus have co-developed materials to help support staff working with children when discussing feelings of anxiety, specifically as a result to changes to court procedures due to COVID-19.
Two versions of the same content have been provided:
- An ‘easy read’ version for the children to have in their room
- A version for resettlement practitioners, Custody Support Plans Officers and other key internal stakeholders
Implementing the practice:
- All children with remand status in Wetherby young offender insitution have been provided a copy of the easy read version
- Practitioners/Officers should use their version as a reference and to aid discussions with the children with remand status.
