Youth Justice Plan 2024 to 2026

 

 

The Youth Justice Plan is the Youth Justice Strategic Plan for Bath and North East Somerset (B&NES) Youth Justice Service (YJS) for 2024/26.

 

It sets out the key priorities and targets for the service for the next 24 months as required by the Crime & Disorder Act 1998 and overseen by the Youth Justice Board. This Plan adheres to the Youth Justice Board’s ‘document ‘Youth Justice Plans: Guidance for Youth Justice Services’.

 

The Plan has been developed under the guidance of the B&NES YJS Partnership Board in consultation with YJS team members and considering feedback from B&NES YJS service users. The progress in the plan will be monitored by the YJS Partnership Board throughout the year ahead.

 

The Youth Justice Plan:

 

  • summarises the YJS structure, governance and partnership arrangements.
  • outlines the resources available to the YJS.
  • reviews achievements and developments during 2023/24.
  • identifies emerging issues and describes the partnership’s priorities.
  • sets out our priorities and actions for improving youth justice outcomes in the next two years.
