Overview

 Are you passionate about youth justice? Our certificate programme is designed for learners who wish to expand their knowledge in this area. It allows learners to identify the definitions of youth justice and examine its philosophical underpinnings in Ireland.

Participants will also learn the practical application of policy and legislation in the youth justice system with particular focus on the issues facing young people who have been cautioned, sentenced or who are on remand.
