North Yorkshire Test & Learn Pilot Programme (Health & Youth Justice)

 

 

In line with paragraph 6(b) of the Executive Members’ Delegation Scheme, the Executive Member for Children’s Services is asked to authorise the agreement for NYC to accept the North Yorkshire Test & Learn Pilot Programme (Health & Youth Justice) Grant for the following financial years 2023/2024, and 2024/25 which will allow the Chief Financial Officer to authorise the acceptance of the grant. This will enable the local authority to receive the allocated funding to support the continued delivery of the Trusted Relationships Service within the context of the Test & Learn Programme.

Early Help are continuing to lead on the delivery of a Test & Learn Pilot Programme of work as part of the Regional Health & Youth Justice Vanguard. The primary focus is to build on existing work delivering action that brings about a reduction in the number of first-time entrants into the Youth Justice System; as well as positively influencing the trajectory of those young people at risk of re-entering the system. This Pilot has now been extended for an additional year with a grant to cover the full costs of Trusted Relationships delivery for 2023/24 and 2024/25.
