The Youth Justice Sector Improvement Partnership (YJSIP) is a tripartite partnership between the Youth Justice Board for England and Wales (YJB), the Association of YOT Managers (AYM) and senior youth justice leaders. The Partnership provides improvement support for the sector, by the sector and always with the sector.

YJSIP support is a universal offer open to all youth justice services in England and Wales. Sector improvement support is by invite and is not imposed, often seen as a critical friend approach from fellow youth justice sector colleagues.
YJSIP has developed a menu of support to best match need and includes:

• Peer Review
• Bespoke peer support
• Coaching
• Mentoring
• Special Educational Needs and disability (support for youth justice services around SEND provision for children)

In order to apply for a peer review through the youth justice sector improvement partnership, individual Services should complete an application form.

If you want to know more, you should go to the AYM website or contact Youth Justice Board lead Jon Bradnum who will be able to support you.
