Join Up then Carry On: An illustrated guide to successful service mergers for youth offending teams in Wales – Youth Justice Practice Development Panel

Summary:

The Youth Justice Practice Development Panel have created an illustrated guide to successful service mergers for youth offending teams in Wales.

Description

This guidance is a response to requests from youth offending services in Wales for some practical help when faced with an impending merger with either another youth offending service or another team within the same local authority. It was commissioned by members of the youth justice Practice Development Panel in Wales, following a thematic meeting to look at this issue.

The aim of this document is to present overarching principles which can be related to any merger situation, rather than any which are directed to specific scenarios.
