We now have a monthly Reforming Youth Detention newsletter on LinkedIn. The first issue is titled Fit for Purpose? Understanding the Six Core Purposes of Youth Detention. Go here to view, and if you’re a LinkedIn member you can subscribe from there too. The newsletter is also supported with a quarterly webinar with the first on 24 June 2025 titled Rethinking the Purpose of Youth Detention: Getting it Right for Children and Systems (these and future webinar slides can be found under the resources tab).

We also plan to launch a monthly out-of-home care newsletter on LinkedIn (date yet to be announced) along with an accompanying quarterly webinar.

Below we also have 77 blog posts from July 2019 to August 2022, spanning a range of topics relating to foster care, residential care, detention centres, and transitioning from care. While some were topical, most would still be relevant today.
