“They don’t help the real life problems”: Children’s experiences of education, training and employment in youth justice services

Good education, meaningful training and paid employment are essential to minimise youth re-offending. However, this report explores the failures in providing these to young people. Children in the criminal justice system face many challenges that impact their progression through Education, Training and
Employment (ETE). This report presents the experiences of twenty-nine children in six Youth Offending Services across the UK.

The main objectives were to understand the challenges faced by children when trying to access ETE, to identify effective practice and to establish how services can achieve the best outcomes for children.
