CARE CADETS / THE MODEL
A continuum, not a one-size-fits-all programme.
Different ages call for different forms of support. The proposed initial core pilot is for ages 16–25; a younger PREVENT strand would require its own design and governance.
THREE AGE PATHWAYS
Meet the person where the next decision matters.
The continuum is a proposed structure. Delivery arrangements, eligibility and referral routes would need to be co-designed with the relevant partners.
PREVENT
A separately designed and governed strand with children’s-services and youth-justice partners.
FUTURE STRANDDIVERT + DEVELOP
Earlier support, accountability and development at a critical transition.
PROPOSED CORE PILOTREHABILITATE + PROGRESS
Support for change, responsibility and progression into adulthood.
PROPOSED CORE PILOTHOW THE METHOD WORKS
Six stages. One accountable direction.
Stabilise, Overstand, Account, Repair, Develop and Progress form the proposed practice sequence.
- 01STABILISE
- 02OVERSTAND
- 03ACCOUNT
- 04REPAIR
- 05DEVELOP
- 06PROGRESS
THE DISTINCTIVE PRACTICE
Overstanding is not an excuse.
“Understanding asks what happened. Overstanding asks what sits underneath it, what the system has missed, and what must change next.”
Harm remains harm. Responsibility and repair are essential to moving forward.
PILOT SCOPE
16–25 is the proposed initial core pilot. The 11–14 PREVENT strand would be separately designed and governed with children’s-services and youth-justice partners.
