In this youth justice special, Cheryl Leavy, Deputy Commissioner Queensland Family and Child Commission, promotes early intervention when a child is showing clear signs of struggling with life, to prevent a pathway to the juvenile system. She gives tips on how people can get involved in a safe and responsible way, pointing out that protecting children is everybody’s business. The conversation focuses on children in out of home care, minor offending and police call outs – which can lead to young people facing the courts.
