The Department of Communities Tasmania has commenced a formal review into an incident that occurred at the Ashley Youth Detention Centre (AYDC) last night.
This is a standard practice when such incidents occur, as it is important that we understand how they occurred and what measures can be put in place to prevent them happening again.
It’s important to understand that AYDC is a therapeutic facility that aims to safely and securely accommodate young offenders with a view to rehabilitation and a positive return to life within our community.
The Tasmanian Government has commenced our $7.3 million major infrastructure redesign and upgrade of the Centre to ensure its fit for purpose as part of a state-wide, contemporary, therapeutic youth justice system.
