Commission for Children and Young People and Child Guardian Title: Child Guardian Report: Investigation into the Use of Force in Queensland youth detention centres Summary: The Commission for Children and Young People and Child Guardian (the Commission) has the legislative responsibility to promote and protect the rights, interests and wellbeing of children and young people in Queensland. In particular, section 23(1)(e)(i) of the Commission’s Act prescribes that the Commission must prioritise the needs and interests of young people detained in youth detention centres in Queensland. In fulfilling this responsibility, the Commission has identified concerns about the use of force by officers of the former Department of Communities (the Department) in both Queensland youth detention facilities, namely Brisbane Youth Detention Centre (BYDC) and Cleveland Youth Detention Centre (CYDC). The identification of use of force as an issue requiring investigation was raised during the ongoing regular review and analysis of a variety of sources that inform the Commission’s monitoring and advocacy functions, including the: Youth detention inspections conducted by the Department under section 263 of the Youth Justice Act 1992 on a quarterly basis Reports of harm and suspected harm in youth detention centres provided by the Department on a monthly basis in accordance with section 37 of the Youth Justice Regulation 2003 Commission Community Visitor reports completed after monthly visits to young people in youth detention centres under Chapter 5 of the Commission for Children and Young People and Child Guardian Act 2000, and Complaints received by the Commission from young people detained in youth detention centres, about the use of force under Chapter 4 of the Commission for Children and Young People and Child Guardian Act 2000.
