Yesterday, @DavidLammy and I launched the beginning of the biggest transformation in Youth Justice for a generation.
Our youth services already do fantastic work, but to ensure we protect the public and reduce reoffending, we need the system to evolve.

Proud to see that two of our partnership programmes designed to support young people are now being featured on the @_YJB evidence hub.
Operation Inclusion & the 'No Comment' pathway address the behaviour of young people & provide focused support, helping to prevent reoffending and to keep them out the criminal justice system, ultimately turning lives around.
And the evidence shows they're working!

Youth justice is a complex landscape - several agencies work with children, each using different IT platforms & different assessment tools. Today’s panel from @_yjb and @necdigistudio look at ways to better combine critical information & join the dots.

📢 New report providing guidance on diverting children away from violence at the early stages of the youth justice system.
This report, co-authored by @CJInnovation , offers seven key recommendations to enhance decision-making, partnership working, and evidence-based support.
Our findings highlight the significant benefits of early diversion (pre-charge and for younger children aged 12-14) in reducing reoffending, lowering the severity of future crimes, and achieving better outcomes at a lower cost than formal processing.
