This workshop session aims to support the setup of panels that reduce unnecessary custodial or secure remands, identify issues early, and divert cases to community alternatives. Learn about three panel types including monthly reviews, weekly planning, and gate-keeping processes. Key elements include pre/post-custodial case reviews, panel membership, terms of reference, and meeting logistics. Participants will explore advantages, disadvantages, and practical application of each panel model in group exercises. Next steps involve selecting the suitable panel model for your Youth Offending Team, establishing the panel with appropriate members, terms of reference, and priorities, and scheduling a review to track benefits.
