Course 2: Effective Advocacy for Young People
Law Society Skillnet in collaboration with Oberstown Children Detention Campus presents this seminar, recorded in May 2022, on Effective Advocacy for Young People.  The aim of this seminar to present research on the perspectives of young people’s court experiences, to highlight how these might be overcome and to discuss how best to advocate effectively for young people in conflict with the law in a manner that protects their rights. Children who come into conflict with the law are known to have complex unmet needs often presenting with poor educational experiences, health concerns and trauma experience. These circumstances require committed advocacy on their behalf if they are to enjoy access to justice and have their rights protected.  The idea for this seminar came from the young people in Oberstown Children Detention Campus who say they do not understand what is going on in court. Chairperson: His Honour Judge John O’Connor. Speakers Damien Hernon, Director, Oberstown Children Detention Campus,Gráinne Smyth, Advocacy Officer, Oberstown Children Detention Campus, Professor Ursula Kilkelly, UCC and Chairperson of the Board of Management at Oberstown Children Detention Campus, Ms Niamh Kelly, Solicitor.
