Enhancing Saturday and Occasional Courts: Reducing Unnecessary Remands

This toolkit aims to optimize staffing and resource management for Saturday and occasional court sessions. By reviewing current arrangements, this workshop focuses on appropriate staffing, accessibility of resources, and aims to reduce unnecessary custodial remands. Participants will engage in group exercises to assess and improve current provision, discuss management oversight, and explore case management models. The goal is to identify and implement the most suitable model for the Youth Offending Team (YOT) to ensure efficient court processes and better outcomes for young people.
