Ms Caron McCaffrey:

For newly committed 18 to 24-year-olds in any given year, we might be talking about 200 people. It is a start and we have to start somewhere by looking at models and growing the project. The aim is to identify gaps in the system and then to identify gaps in the community. Even with a key worker, some people may not be able to access services. It is taking a holistic approach to supporting somebody while in custody and, on their return to the community, to help them ensure they do not come back into the criminal justice system.
