Presentation Transcript

  1. The Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008 and the Scaled ApproachImplementation date: 30 November 2009 Insert date A briefing forinsert court

  2. Purpose of the presentation (adapt for local use) • Brief overview of the impact of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act and the Youth Rehabilitation Order (YRO) on the youth offending team (YOT) and its work with the court in dealing with young people on statutory orders • The Scaled Approach • How the Scaled Approach works • Key messages about the Scaled Approach for courts

  3. Impact of Criminal Justice and Immigration Act on YOT practice The following is a suggested list. The YOT should adapt this slide for local relevance • YOT resources required for delivering the 18 YRO requirements • Local partner engagement in resourcing the 18 requirements • Managing different orders during transition period • Sentences will be determined by the date of offence • Managing old orders under new national standards • Diversity implications of the new working practices • Criminal Justice: Simple, Speedy, Summary (CJSSS) • YOT service to court

  4. Impact of Criminal Justice and Immigration Act on YOT practice It might be useful in a slide to present against each of the 18 requirements what your current provision looks like. You could then set out to the court what partners you are intending to engage with in order to attempt to secure some level of agreement for delivery with the other requirements. This of course is only a suggestion however it would be advantageous at some point to communicate to your court just exactly what provisions are likely to be available at a local level. 5

  5. The Scaled Approach

  6. Why the YJB developed the Scaled Approach • Audit Commission (2004) recommendation: • ‘YOTs should make better use of Asset to determine the amount as well as the nature of interventions with individuals using a scaled approach’ • Significant evidence base (reflected in the Key Elements of Effective Practice) • An existing tiered framework of interventions in the adult sector • A risk-based approach was already existing practice in a number of YOTs • A scaled approach was supported by evidence from the risk-based pilots (in four YOTs)

  7. How was the Scaled Approach developed? Used all available evidence Piloted and evaluated risk-based approaches with four YOTs Consulted widely with key people to try to address any concerns Developed three intervention level bandings Obtained legal advice from the Ministry of Justice Developed and published the draft model in February 2009

  8. Scaled Approach principles • Assessment determines frequency of YOT contact and type of intervention (but quality is paramount as reflected in Key Elements of Effective Practice) • Identifies the Scaled Approach intervention level using: • Assessed likelihood of reoffending (from Asset – static and dynamic factors) • Risk of serious harm to others (where applicable) • Application of professional judgement where required (with management signoff) • Considerations of the impact of crime on victims remains part of all work undertaken by the YOT • Assessment of vulnerability should influence YOT and multi-agency input • A coherent relationship between: • (revised) National Standards for Youth Justice Services • Key Elements of Effective Practice • the Scaled Approach and the YRO

  9. How the Scaled Approach works • The Scaled Approach is used by the YOT to determine the level of intervention (either standard, enhanced or intensive) required when a child or young person is subject to one of the following court orders: • Referral Order • YRO • Community element of a custodial sentence • Interventions are designed to: • reduce the likelihood of reoffending • reduce the risk of serious harm to others • support the new sentencing framework • tailor interventions to individual risk and need

  10. Scaled Approach in practice – an example Court requests PSR YOT undertakes assessment Populate Asset (and ROSH if applicable) Court indicates likely sentence Determine possible YRO requirements Gather Info from range of sources Determine Scaled Approach Intervention level Apply professional judgement if applicable and seek managerial signoff Prepare PSR based on all available info

  11. Proposals to court

  12. Statutory contacts for assessed intervention level

  13. Benefits of the Scaled Approach More efficient and effective allocation of YOT resources Strengthened case management across the youth justice system Improved practice in assessment quality, pre-sentence reports and intervention planning Tailored interventions based on the young person’s risks and needs Reduced reoffending Reduced risk of serious harm Increased public confidence

  14. Impact on/changes to practice (YOTs to complete locally) Examples - • Change in style of PSR • Assessment improvements • Court practice • Increase in stand-down/same day reports • Impact of CJSSS • How offence seriousness will be addressed in PSR proposals

  15. Offences per disposals • Add local data if appropriate

  16. One year reconviction rates
