Schools have expressed a need to know the identity and/or circumstances of young offenders in order to address school safety and security issues, and to provide a collaborative and coordinated case management approach for the rehabilitation of the young person. A framework for the exchange of information between youth justice and school officials concerning students who have young offender status is presented here. A young offender is an individual charged with, or found guilty of, a criminal code or other federal statute offense that was committed when he or she was between the ages of 12-17. The protocols outlined here describe obligations and procedures for disclosure, security, and the storage and destruction of information concerning students who have young offender status. These guidelines facilitate the exchange of necessary information, such as reports required by a youth court, and provide the effective supervision and enforcement of youth court orders, as well as ensuring the safety of students, staff, or other persons. The protocols also can guide school boards in developing procedures in the best interests of students and staff. Finally, the protocols ensure that appropriate authorities in the education and justice systems are aware of their responsibilities as dictated by law. (RJM)
