Description:

Barnet youth offending service worked with children to co-produce a .be">short video for children which describes what the youth justice service is, Court Orders, support offered and expectations of the children.

This video should be a resource for children entering the service for the first time so they may understand what is expected in a child-friendly way.

Implementing the practice:

• The children involved in the project shared their honest views in order to provide others with a relatable account of their experiences.
• The children developed the video narrative in their own language using their own voices and working with an illustrator, created the images and story flow for the video.
• The avatars were drawn by the young people to represent the different characters of the children speaking.
• The hours spent on working on this project were counted as reparation hours.  
• The project cost £2,500 to create.
