<p>We recognise that young people with speech and language difficulties are particularly
vulnerable. We are seeking to ensure that practitioners who work with children and
young people in settings with a known high prevalence of speech, language and communication
needs are trained in recognising and responding appropriately to communication needs,
and ensuring access to speech and language therapy as required.</p><p>Over the past
three years MoJ and the YJB have supported a national project, led by the Department
for Education, to deliver special educational needs and disability (SEND) awareness
training to the youth justice workforce. The Youth Justice SEND Bubble programme offered
free training to Youth Justice System professionals, supporting them to effectively
identify and meet children’s special educational and disability needs and allowing
them to work towards more effective engagement and positive long-term outcomes.</p>
