CFOS

evolves youth justice beyond its

contemporary

risk

focus

Promotes a principled, progressive and practical whole-system approach providing a distinctive approach to children in conflict with the law

See

: Haines and Case: ‘PYJ, CFOS’; Byrne and Case ‘Towards a Positive

Youth Justice

’ (Journal of Community Safety); Byrne and Brooks ‘Post-YOT Youth Justice (Howard League)Slide4

Surrey’s Positive Youth Justice – the story so far

Diversion (lowest FTE in the country

)

Integrated – non-

siloed

(no YOT) within ‘one stop shop’ for a range of vulnerable

YP’s

Restorative – for young person and

victim

Relationship-based service, built on ‘what works’ for

adolescents

Participative – engaging, accessible,

inclusive

Future focused – emphasis on education, skills and employability

Slide5

The Youth Restorative Intervention

What is it?

Informal disposal with contract involving YP and

victim

Who is it for?

Admission and anything too serious for on-street disposal but not

indictable-only

When is it used / how often?

1000 pa – joint decision making by Police /SCC

Slide6
Slide7

Success of the Youth Restorative Intervention

Positive outcomes externally evaluated

Children-first

policing – a positive driver for

YJ

1000 YP’s pa without a criminal record p.a

.

62% less court: 80% less

custody

18% reduction in

re-offending

85-90% victim

satisfaction

YJ reforms saved £3m for council per year: re- investment in preventative servicesSlide8

The Positive Turn?

Austerity – we can’t afford negative YJ

Build on success of diversion, restoration

Devolution / public service reform – local areas can drive new agenda

YJ Review – children-first and education-centred

agenda

Children-first policing – a positive driver for YJSlide9
Slide10

Implications for national practice?

Stop being a mini probation service

Stop doing offender assessments (Asset+) and siloed YJ interventions

Integration of YJ into children’s service

Persistent offending as safeguarding: right help at the right time outside of the YJS

Children-first policing

Inspection / regulation: by Ofsted / DfE incorporating HMIP / MoJ expertise and requirements
