Comprehensive Child and Youth Strategy: Transforming Justice and Support Systems

The Child and Youth Strategy, established following the Nunn Commission of Inquiry in December 2007, aims to enhance the lives of youth through 34 recommendations accepted by the government. These focus on justice administration, education reform, and youth support initiatives. Expected outcomes include reduced poverty, better school readiness, decreased crime rates, and improved mental health services. The strategy emphasizes local community engagement, governance models, and the promotion of best practices to create a holistic support system for children and youth.
