Bail pack – Darlington YOS
Summary:
Bail pack from Darlington YOS.
Description:
The Pack is used with young people who are on bail, and therefore at a pre-sentencing stage, where young people may have lots of questions and doubts. The pack will support practitioners to engage young people and support them to successfully complete their bail conditions. The Pack should also support young people to increase their knowledge around bail as well as court orders in general.
The nature of the exercises gains assessment style information without the feel of a structured interview process. However, the pack also ensures that practitioners do not explore topics that would be potentially inappropriate to cover due to the Court status of bail young people.
The pack starts some of the work that could potentially be completed on an order around increasing knowledge and awareness, in order to decrease likelihood of further offending
Implementing the practice:
- Ensure that all practitioners delivering the Pack have knowledge of the information and sessions
- Practitioners should have knowledge of motivational interviewing skills, in particular a non-judgemental and non-didactic approach.
- The pack can and should be edited when there are changes to legislation
- Other additional content can be added to the ‘further work’ section or to the pack as a whole if it fits with the exploratory or criminal justice awareness theme.
