Justice for Children Policy Briefs Launch!

Inspiring Children’s Futures is delighted to announce new Justice for Children Policy Briefs!

In 2022, the SDG16+ Working Group on Justice for Children published the Justice for Children Agenda for Action to implement change across four key strategic levers needed to accelerate change for children:

1. Building new types of partnerships, including intergenerational networks.

2. Developing strategies for smarter financing; building the case to shift investment to children’s inclusion and well-being, and the political support for prevention.

3. Policy Brief coming soon… Using evidence and data to steer child-centred reforms, including disaggregated data, child friendly methodologies and child-centred views to drive change.

4. Scaling up justice innovations, and applying imagination and safeguards for digital justice tools with children.

We are delighted to present three Working Group on SDG16+ Justice for Children Policy Briefs: Building New Partnerships; Smarter Financing; and Digital Justice for Children.

This Policy Brief outlines ‘ingredients’ for meaningful intergenerational and intersectional partnerships, prompting questions and actions for policymakers, and case study examples which highlight promising practice with children and young people in the context of justice.

This Policy Brief outlines rationales for smarter financing, highlights key attributes of smarter financing strategies to achieve justice for children, and offers prompting questions for policymakers, agencies and relevant ministers to drive this reform.  

This Policy Brief alerts policymakers and justice professionals to the potential impacts of uncritically applying technologies in digital justice spaces, and offers recommendations for policymakers and supporting bodies engaged in policy processes.
