Today the Royal Commission into the Protection and Detention of Children in the Northern Territory (‘the Royal Commission’) handed down its final Report, containing recommendations to reform the youth justice and care and protection systems in the Northern Territory following significant individual and systemic failures. The Report details systemic failings of Northern Territory’s youth justice and care and protection systems and calls for a ‘profound shift from past practice’ to reform people designed systems that have traumatised and criminalised children, families and communities.
