I have been going crazy trying to work out what to do to get into the youth justice field and found this very useful.</p><p>I am currently studying a Bsc Hons in Social Sciences with the Open University. Although now I realise this is a bit open I hope to specialise in a post grad caourse. On the way I have acquired a diploma in social policy and criminology and next year will be studying psychology - my last one. What other qualifications will I need and how can I get them. I am based in Petersfield, Hampshire but am a single mum of 2 so not sure how I can get through uni and still fund the family.</p><p>I am currently in touch with Rainer - restorative justice - and ready to start volunteering. They will give me some training but will that be in the form of a professional qualification since it's only 2 weekends? What should be next step?</p><p>I look forward to hearing from you,<br>Alison</p>Ali28Thu, 16 Oct 2008 06:51:07 -0000
