Every Child Matters in custody
See also Delivering Every Child Matters in Secure Settings: A practical toolkit for improving the health and well-being of young people [opens in new window], which is on the NCB's website and was partially funded by us.
The toolkit, which will help practitioners deliver the objectives of Every Child Matters and related national standards and policies, sets out 27 health and well-being entitlements for young people in secure settings. By reviewing services and children's access to them against these entitlements, staff can be confident they are successfully helping to deliver the agenda for improving the health and well-being of young people in custody.
