Rehabilitation Services

349 Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (3 August 2017). What through-care rehabilitative and therapeutic responses are in place as opposed to the monitoring of orders or punitive approach?

The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON (Ramsay—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Ageing, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers): I have been advised:

1. The Youth Justice service delivery model encourages young people to take responsibility, whilst recognising that children and young people have specific developmental needs. The Adelaide Youth Training Centre utilises a Behaviour Support Framework (BSF), which is a progression model that provides individual incentives to encourage and support young people to develop positive behaviours and take responsibility for their choices and actions. This model can assist residents to reach short and long term goals, develop life skills, address patterns of behaviour and take responsibility for their choices.

2. Case planning with young people in the justice system includes transition planning and goal setting to support young people to successfully return to the community following detention. This includes ensuring continued access to education and health supports and establishing connections with services that will continue to support the young person and their family beyond the expiry of their youth justice order.
