2016/17 YJPB Objectives

Youth Justice Plan 2016/17 “To undertake a review of the out of court disposal framework and the effectiveness of restorative justice practices” Police and Crime Plan 2017-2021 ( Young People Becoming Adults Delivery Plan) “To reduce the number of young people entering the criminal justice system as first time entrants [FTE] & reduce reoffending by young people by ensuring that decisions that are made by the Police about young people are fair and consistent and seek to divert young people from the CJS and ensure they receive the help they need to stop them re-offending, as quickly and efficiently as possible”

Actions agreed:

SLIDE 13

The Aim of Children First.

To divert children and young people away from the formal criminal justice system

wherever possible and reduce unnecessary criminalisation particularly of vulnerable groups e.g. children in care, learning difficulties, mental health problems.

To encourage children and young people to take responsibility for their own

actions and promote reintegration into their communities

To ensure children and young people are offered the right support in order to

prevent further offending at the earliest opportunity

To make restorative Interventions the norm and default disposal for children and

young people who offend.

To see the child first and offender second
To put the victim at the heart of the youth justice system

SLIDE 14

Seeks compliance in non formal restorative disposal as direct

alternative to criminal sanctions

Has restorative component and seeks to bring together victim

and offender wherever possible.

Information gathering from range of sources to inform

assessment and decision making

Partnership approach from the outset- YST, Restorative

Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire Constabulary, OPCC, Victim Support, Youth Justice Partnership Board.

How are we going to achieve this?

RJ, wherever practically possible, to replace the

criminalising sanctions for children – youth cautions, youth conditional cautions, prosecution

RJ will become the standard, normal & default disposal

for children who offend.

Early Identification of children in need of support and

clear pathways for assessment and intervention.
