Reconstructing Court Orders
SESSION INFO
Monday, February 6, 2023
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Session Type: Workshop
This session will highlight our Probation District’s experience as we went through a Probation System Review in 2017-18. Because probation orders are the foundation to the accountability plan and an effective habilitative plan, this system review identified the need for enhancement of probation orders with attention to language which is at a more accessible reading level for youth/families, reduction in the number of probation conditions, and conditions which target the adjudicated offense and key life areas. With national technical assistance, use of Implementation Science principles and tools, and in partnership with our Juvenile Court Judges, we have developed and implemented enhancements to our processes specific to recommendations to our judges at the time of disposition.
