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 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.
