One of our Mayo based Youth Justice Workers, Chloe Timlin with Garda Shane Nallen and Juvenile Liaison Officer Colm Boyle presenting to the Second-Year students in Rice College .
They chatted with students about the role of the JLO and the Garda Diversion Programme along with the role of a Youth Justice Worker and the Youth Diversion Project. They discussed how the Garda vetting process is completed and emphasised the importance of understanding the Harrassment, Harmful Communications and Related Offences Act 2020 particularly in relation to Social Media safety, online gaming safety and the common offences young people commit at their age.
Well done guys and thanks to Rice College Secondary School for having us!
