U R Boss
U R Boss is a ground breaking youth justice project that provides an enhanced legal service shaped by and for young people in custody and those recently released into the community.
Funded by the Big Lottery for 5 years, U R Boss provides a national programme of participation opportunities and support for young people.
A team from the University of De Montfort has been appointed to undertake the
evaluation of U R Boss.
U R Boss will:
- Enhance the legal service being provided by the Howard League for Penal Reform to children and young people in the penal system and those recently released into the community
- Campaign to change national and local policy and practice in the statutory and voluntary sectors working with children and young people
- Change public attitudes to children and young people in the penal system
- Come up with new ideas about children and young people in the penal system
The ethos of U R Boss is to work with young people and give them a voice.
