star this property answer text <p>The Youth Justice Grant is distributed to Youth Offending Teams (YOTs) by the Youth Justice Board (YJB), on behalf of the Ministry of Justice, for the operation and provision of youth justice services. Though varying by YOT, on average the grant makes up around a third of the funding YOTs receive. Local authorities and partner agencies provide the rest of their funding.</p><p>The youth justice system works to prevent offending and reoffending by children (those aged 10-17) and this Government has driven and overseen a number of achievements. In the year ending March 2022, the number of first time entrants was 8,000, which is a 78% fall from the year ending March 2012. Over the same period, the average youth custody population fell by 77% to an average of 450, and the proven reoffending rate fell to 31.2%.</p><p>We want to go further still to drive and oversee the youth justice system. The MoJ introduced a new set of Key Performance Indicators in April 2023 so as to provide greater insight of how the youth justice system is operating.</p>

star this property answer text <p>The Youth Custody Service’s first priority is the safety and well-being of the young people in its care. In the current challenging circumstances, that requirement continues to be paramount. Staff retention and recruitment is a challenge in all parts of HMPPS, not only within the youth secure estate. We are actively working to reduce high turnover of staff in the Young Offender Institutions. In addition to changes to national pay progression arrangements, we are focusing on action to improve retention. Exit interviews are made available to every leaver, to help us understand and address the reasons why staff may decide to leave.</p><p> </p><p>Since December 2022, there has been a reduction in resignations by frontline staff across the Young Offender Institution sector. Whilst staffing is challenging in the Secure Training Centre too, this has not affected the levels of regime for education or enrichment available to children.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>Regular attendance at school is vital for children’s education, wellbeing and long-term development. School attendance is mandatory and parents have a duty, under Section 7 of the Education Act 1996, to ensure that their child of compulsory age, from 5 to 16 years old, receives an efficient full-time education.</p><p> </p><p>During their time in school, pupils should be able to benefit from a range of work experience placements as part of the wider curriculum. The careers statutory guidance makes it clear that schools and colleges should offer every pupil at least one experience of a workplace by age 16 and a further experience by age 18 through work visits, work shadowing and/or work experience, in line with Gatsby Benchmark 6. This provides pupils with multiple opportunities to learn from different employers about work and the skills that are valued in the workplace.</p><p> </p><p>Where a pupil is not attending school regularly, the department expects schools and local authorities to consider the individual circumstances of each pupil and family, and take the best course of action to support the child’s return to school. The department would encourage parents to work with their child’s school and the local authority to discuss the reasons behind their absence and together agree a plan so that the right support can be put in place to help the child return to regular and consistent education.</p><p> </p><p>Ultimately, the local authority has the duty, under Section 19 of the Education Act 1996, to provide education for compulsory aged children. Vocational placements, as part of an alternative provision offer, can provide a valuable ‘hook’ back into learning, as well as providing essential life skills for some of our most disengaged learners.</p><p> </p><p>At post-16, pupils have access to a range of work placement opportunities. Thousands of young people have benefited from world-class T Levels, all of which include a meaningful industry placement with an employer of at least 45 days.</p>
