Notes:	Complex developmental trauma impacts on neurobiological development through the creation of a frightening and unpredictable environment in which the brain develops. For some children and young people, experiences of early trauma leads them into the residential Out-of-Home Care system. Neurodevelopmental delays that occur as a result of early trauma and abuse often become particularly pronounced during adolescence, including limited impulse control, poor emotional regulation and attachment impairments. These same delays contribute to offending behaviour and subsequent contact with the justice system. These repercussions may take the form of offending behaviour and contact with the justice system, drug and alcohol abuse, and continuing cycles of abuse and violence within families or victimisation.
