PERFORMANCE, ACHIEVEMENTS AND OUTCOMES • Existing staff have undergone refresher training and are undertaking new training courses. • The Certificate III commenced in August 2015, for both existing and new staff identified in a bulk recruitment program. Recommendation 2: • Staff from both the Youth Justice and Community Corrections divisions completed Train the Trainer training in the Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI) in July 2015. • The YLS/CMI tool is being consistently used within youth detention and across Community Corrections forming part of operational practice. Recommendation 3: • Work is ongoing to enhance YJOs’ engagement in the case management process, including providing training for staff in the YLS/CMI and the utilisation of Changing Habits and Reaching Targets (CHART). CHART is an offending-behaviour change program designed to work with the offending needs of youth justice clients. Recommendation 4: • The Operational Philosophy for Northern Territory detention centres has been finalised and is accessible on the NTDCS website. • The Operational Philosophy was guided by the Youth Justice Act and its regulations, the Care and Protection of Children Act, and the Information Act. It was informed by the NTDCS Philosophy for Working with Clients, the NTDCS Community Engagement Strategy, the Youth Justice Framework 2015- 2020, the Australasian Juvenile Justice Administrators’ (AJJA) Standards 2009, and the AJJA Principles of Youth Justice 2014. Recommendation 5: • A new procedures manual has been implemented and is being reviewed on an ongoing basis. Recommendation 6: • Site Specific Procedures (SSPs) have been developed and implemented for both the Alice Springs and Don Dale Youth Detention Centres. Recommendation 7: • The draft detention centre classification system procedure has been reviewed with a number of changes being implemented. Recommendation 8: • A consistent and structured methodology to manage behaviour has been introduced. The establishment of the High Security Unit at the DDYDC has seen the introduction of Individual Intensive Management Plans for high risk detainees. Detainees accommodated outside the High Security Unit who are exhibiting challenging behaviours are assigned behavioural management plans to assist in managing those behaviours.

PERFORMANCE, ACHIEVEMENTS AND OUTCOMES Recommendation 9: • The new formal incentive scheme is closely linked to the redesigned classification system. Formalisation of the scheme is yet to occur across both centres. This scheme will be finalised across both Centres when the Alice Springs centre returns to full operations. Recommendation 10: • The detention centres have been issued personal protection equipment and staff have been trained in its use. Recommendation 11: • NTDCS has developed a predominantly permanent staffing model. • NTDCS has also commenced bulk recruitment of YJOs aligning the quality and process of recruitment of these staff to that of correctional and community corrections officers. • The bulk recruitment process feeds in directly to the establishment of the permanent staffing model. Recommendation 12: • As previously stated under Recommendation 3, YJOs have commenced training in the utilisation of Changing Habits and Reaching Targets (CHART). • Additional to CHART, the following programs are also being delivered: Safe Sober Strong; Alcohol and Other Drugs – Youth Program (DAISY); Individual Sex Offender program; Individual Violent Offender Program; and the Step-Up (Violence) Program. Recommendation 13: • Multi-disciplinary decision making is common practice across youth detention centres: classification and case management are conducted with the attendance of involved Government and NGO stakeholders, and where possible, family members. Recommendation 14: • The former and temporary Holtze Youth Detention Centre is no longer in use and the new DDYDC has been established at the former Darwin Correctional Centre Berrimah site. Recommendation 15: • Aranda House in Alice Springs is no longer being used as a youth holding centre. Recommendation 16: • NTDCS continues to operate the Seek Education and Employment not Detention program (known as SEED) with young people both in and out of detention.
