Section 194 gives the Secretary of State the power, by regulation, to make provision for the review of a Youth Rehabilitation Order (YRO) and to make provision about the frequency and conduct of those reviews and the court’s powers on review. This has not changed with the commencement of the Sentencing Act 2020, no secondary legislation has been made under this power.</p><p>We are aware of innovative local approaches and informal arrangements between some magistrates and Youth Offending Teams to improve information sharing and involve magistrates in reviewing the ongoing progress of children in relation to their orders. We are actively considering how the Ministry of Justice can learn from and best support these approaches, while ensuring we maintain the impartial court process. We have no current plans to make an order under section 194 of the Sentencing Act 2020 but are considering this carefully.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 11/01/2021 16:57:17 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

This training has included explaining how the defence under section 45 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 operates, and the role that YOTs have in that process. There are no plans to publish further details of individual training with YOT teams across the country.</p><p>The CPS has not contributed to any new guidance for YOTs.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 27/10/2020 17:42:23 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
