To gain approval to accept Grant funding which is to be awarded to NYCC YJS by Ministry of Justice to enable the delivery of a Turnaround Programme. The turnaround programme is a voluntary youth early intervention programme led by the Authority. The Programme is a three-year programme which aims to improve outcomes and prevent offending for children who are on the cusp of the youth justice system and who do not meet the threshold for statutory support.
The overall aims of the Programme are to: • Achieve positive outcomes for children with the aim of preventing them going on to offend; • Build on work already done to ensure all children on the cusp of the youth justice system are consistently offered a needs assessment and the opportunity for support; • Improve the socio-emotional, mental health and wellbeing of children; and • Improve the integration and partnership working between YOT and other statutory services to support children.
