CIPRT is inviting tenders for a research project on the specific mental health needs and provision for young adults (18-21) in the criminal justice system.
IPRT’s Turnaround Youth project advocates for the differential treatment of young people aged 18-25 within the criminal justice system. Phase I of the project included a broad review of research evidence, and development of an issues paper informed by the evidence and youth consultations. Phase II builds upon this work, with particular emphasis on responses to young adults with mental health issues in the criminal justice system.
Invitation to Tender
IPRT has secured funding from The Ireland Funds to commission high quality empirical research identifying more effective responses to young people aged 18-21 with mental health issues at key points of intervention throughout the criminal justice system.
IPRT now invites tenders to deliver a research paper which examines current mental health provision for young people in contact with the criminal justice system, describes international best practice, and formulates evidence-based policy recommendations.
Tenders should be submitted by e-mail to director@iprt.ie by noon on Friday 27 March 2015
