Transition planning framework for New South Wales youth in custody

Abstract

This Transition Planning Framework provides a best-practice guide for stakeholders involved in supporting youth in custody transitioning back to the community. This Framework can be used by all stakeholders in the transition planning process, not just the NSW Department of Justice and NSW Department of Education. The advocated principles, processes, and recommendations in the Framework are intended to promote smoother transitions back to the community, and to reduce reoffending via developing case management plans that are youth-centred. The Transition Planning Framework includes guiding principles, predictors of transition success, domains to include in plans, and recommendations.
