3 results foundAuthor: MacLeod, Shona Title: An Analysis of Youth Offending Teams' Inspection Reports Summary: This research examined annual performance assessments of services for children and young people undertaken by Ofsted in 57 local authorities from January 2006 to April 2009, together with relevant data relating to the national performance indicators on youth offending issues. The findings cover YOTs' performance with regard to: management and leadership; work in courts; work with children and young people in the community; work with children and young people with custodial sentences; and victims and restorative justice. The research found that there has been an improvement in the quality of management and leadership of YOTs and while some areas of work are very good, others show room for improvement. This report is important reading for all those working in YOTs and for policy makers seeking to understand the performance of YOTs over time.

Author: Great Britain. Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Probation Title: The Contribution of Youth Offending Teams to the Work of the Troubled Families Programme in England Summary: Youth offending teams were playing an important part in the Troubled Families (TF) programme in their work to reduce reoffending by young people, but needed to address some practical issues, according to independent inspectors. The report, The Contribution of Youth Offending Teams to the Work of the Troubled Families Programme in England reflects the findings of HM Inspectorate of Probation, the Care Quality Commission, Ofsted and HM Inspectorate of Constabulary. The inspection focused on the part played by Youth Offending Teams on preventing and reducing offending and tackling antisocial behaviour by children and young people. Inspectors found many examples where the work had the potential to bear fruit and the interim reoffending patterns were positive, despite the relatively short period of time the local services had been running. However, the limited evaluation which had taken place meant it was not easy to track outcomes from the work. Inspectors also found some partner agencies, such as YOTs, children's social care services and educational services, had made a considerable investment in partnership working, and there were some innovative approaches from police and health care staff.

Author: HM Inspectorate of Probation Title: The Voices of Young People Under Supervision (findings from the HMI Probation eSurvey) Summary: Executive Summary Context This bulletin focuses upon the views of children and young people supervised by Youth Offending Teams (YOTs). It is vital that their voices are heard and taken into account when designing and reviewing services, maximising the quality of these services and ensuring that they are sufficiently personalised and responsive to their different needs. Approach The findings are based upon analysis of the responses to HMI Probation’s eSurvey, which captured the children and young peoples’ views regarding their needs, the support provided through the YOT and the progress that they had made. It was completed by 14,542 children and young people between April 2014 and March 2017. Key findings and implications - Most children and young people were positive about working with the YOT, reporting that their views had been taken seriously (96 percent), that they had been treated fairly (95 percent), and that the service had been good (95 percent). - Nearly nine in ten (87 percent) reported that they were now less likely to reoffend, especially if they also felt the quality of the YOT work had been good, that their views had been taken seriously and they had been treated fairly – the latter two being key elements of procedural justice. - Responses were a little less positive among those not on a first-tier order and those with a black, Asian, mixed or other ethnic background. While not large, the differences were significant and YOTs should continue to explore potential areas for improvement for these children and young people. - There were differences between young people of different age groups in their reported needs and reported barriers to effective engagement. Whether the child or young person felt that there had been an improvement in relation to a specific need was strongly associated with whether they had received relevant help or not – those who had received help being much more likely to say that there had been an improvement. The importance of tailored and responsive intervention was thus evident. - Children and young people were least likely to say that help had been provided (when required) with money problems and with living arrangements. YOTs should explore whether more can be done in addressing these specific needs. - Young women and those reporting a disability were more likely to report having felt afraid or unsafe and not all informed the YOT. Careful consideration needs to be given in all cases to potential issues around safety. Details: Manchester, UK: HMI Probation, 2018. 37p.
