Dr Di Hart

 

Dr Di Hart has a background in childcare social work and management and until recently worked for the National Children's Bureau. In this free seminar Di will present the findings of a Winston Churchill Travel Fellowship looking at child custody in Spain, the US and Finland. Her talk will include:

  • Key elements of each country’s approach to children in out of home care because of their criminal behaviour
  • Differences in underlying theories about the purpose of custody and how criminal behaviour can be changed
  • Practice within custody, both formal interventions and day-to-day life
  • Return to the community and outcomes
  • Proposals about an ‘ideal’ secure estate

Recommendations for reform in England and Wales to ensure better commissioning of services for troubled children.
