| Summary: | An overview of the diversion and prevention service as delivered by Milton Keynes Youth Offending Team and partners. |
Aims:
• To address the increase in First Time Entrants receiving formal out of court disposals by introducing an Early Help alternative
• To address the needs of children at risk of offending / criminal exploitation and youth violence and entering the formal Youth Justice System
Description:
The Early Support Project (ESP) is a Diversion and Prevention Service in Milton Keynes. They offer support to children who have received an informal outcome for a proven offence, those who have received Community Resolutions, and also offer support to children between 10 – 18 years who are identified as being at risk of offending.
‘Milton Keynes YOS Practice Example’ provides detail on the background of the service, implementation and delivery, a case example, lessons learned, practice evaluations, future development and contacts for further information.
