Three-year strategic plan for youth detention centre

A new three-year strategic plan for the country’s main youth detention facility will be launched today, including a new Oberstown Campus Council in which young people will have a say on issues at the centre.

The main strategy to cover the next three years lists five strategic objectives, from providing the best possible care for young people, to delivering robust governance at all levels and driving effective accountability.

Each objective has various components, including a new case management system, incorporating the best supports and services, policy reviews and better planning and training.
