Due Date: 2 January 2023, 23.59pm.

Assignment 3 is an individual assessment task.

Details of task: You are working for an agency that supports young Indigenous people in Juvenile Justice.
Your agency seeks to lobby government to change Indigenous Juvenile Justice and asks you to draft a
position paper that critiques Australia’s poor adherence to relevant UN conventions embodied in local
legislation. Clear links should be made to literature and to relevant international, national, state legislative,
and ethical frameworks wherever applicable (i.e. you should state relevant legislation, sections, and/or
paragraphs). Please note, a clear position/argument must be stated on the issue.

Some of the areas that the analysis needs to address are (please note: this is a guide only):

1. Introduction and brief background on the chosen case study (200 words).
2. A critique (based on human rights and conventions, Australian legislation, and professional ethical
frameworks) of the way young Indigenous people have been (and continue to be) treated in the
Australian Juvenile Justice system. The critique (1000 Words) should include:

 Identify at 5 least human rights breaches (refer to the case study for examples)
 How these breaches have impacted indigenous youth caught in in the JJ system, their families
and wider communities.

3. Research-based recommendations that are informed by social work ethics outlining actions that need
to be taken to address the issues you raised (800 words).

course to analyse the case study.

Word Limit: 2000 words (+/- 10%)
