The approach of the Crown Prosecution Service in providing training in relation to criminal exploitation and the Modern Slavery Act 2015 has been to engage with YOTs locally, often alongside local community policing. 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

The Ministry of Justice and the Youth Justice Board have sought to build the knowledge of sector professionals in speech, language and communication needs. For example, the Youth Justice Board has worked with the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists to develop guidance for practitioners and managers in Youth Offending Teams. It has also created additional guidance for Youth Offending Teams in using the AssetPlus screening tool, to identify and analyse speech, language and communication concerns.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 29/06/2020 13:44:07 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>Local Youth Offending Teams (YOTs) are multi-agency partnerships (which include health services) and they determine which services are needed to address the needs of the children who offend in their area. As of June 2017, there were 127 full time equivalent posts for seconded mental health practitioners working in YOTs in England and Wales. This included 59.7 part time and 68 full time posts.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally, Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) in England, are expected to work with NHS England and local partners across the NHS, public health, children and adult social care, youth justice and the education sectors, to jointly develop and take forward local plans to improve children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing, including children going through the youth justice system. In Wales, Local Health Boards (LHBs) are responsible for planning and delivering medical services, and aim to integrate specialist, secondary, community and primary care and health improvements. Even where there is no child psychologist or mental health professional embedded within the youth offending team, areas should have provision for children to access appropriate mental health support.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 09/09/2019 15:59:26 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2023 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> 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

Table B breaks this down by local authority. The majority of this funding helps support the day-to-day business of Youth Offending Teams (YOTs), but it also includes some discrete additional grants for specific projects or initiatives, for example funding for restorative justice. The annual recorded value of the additional grants is set out in Table C.</p><p> </p><p>Due to a change in reporting processes the additional grants given in 2014/15 and 2015/16 were not included in the published totals in the 2017/18 youth justice statistics. The totals for these years therefore differ between Table A (where the additional grants are not included) and Table B (where they are included).</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 05/06/2019 17:34:48 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar attachment 1 file name Tables 252658.docx title Table
