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

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> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 20/06/2023 11:20:43 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
