Public concern for the well-being of children held in detention in Australia has been revealed through a National Inquiry. Evidence indicates that children are detrimentally affected by the detention environment on many levels. The discussion here focuses on the question of education. A 'dual strategic approach' is advocated, which calls for the urgent needs of children to be met within a context of concerted measures to end mandatory detention. |
