| Description: | In accordance with provisions under Section 7 of the 2002 Act, the overall aim of this project
has been to conduct a consultation with young people under 18 years of age in St. Patrick’s
Institution about their experiences of and perspectives on their lives and different aspects of the
regime in the Institution.
In fulfilling this aim, the Ombudsman for Children’s Office worked to achieve the following
project objectives:
• to hear directly from young people about their experiences of detention in St. Patrick’s
Institution;
• to encourage young people to take on responsibility;
• to highlight young people’s concerns and ideas for change as regards their situations
and conditions in the Institution;
• to facilitate due consideration, as appropriate, of the young people’s views and ideas
at management level in the Institution and at senior national policy and political
levels;
• to develop constructive working relationships between the Ombudsman for Children’s
Office and both the Irish Prison Service and management and staff in St. Patrick’s
Institution, which can be built on in the future. |
