Summary: | Attached is Hackney youth justice service prevention and diversion assessment, also included is their definitions related to race, culture and diversity. |
Description:
In March 2019 Hackney Children and Families Services invited several trained peers, supported by the Youth Justice Sector Improvement Programme (YJSIP) and the Youth Justice Board to conduct a Sector Led Youth Justice Peer review, primarily focussing on the Strategic Oversight and the Effective delivery of Youth Out of Court Disposals (OOCD).
Areas of development identified included; accurate recording and analysis of criminogenic factors, risks and vulnerabilities, capturing the ‘Voice of the Child’, enabling active participation of children identified with speech, language and communication/neuro developmental needs and better capturing experience of racism and discrimination.
Following this review Hackney’s Prevention and Diversion Team re-designed their assessment tool (updated August 2022).
The Hackney youth justice service practice example – prevention document provides detail on the background of the service, implementation and delivery, a case examples, lessons learned, practice evaluations and future development.
Hackney youth justice service have also shared their race, culture and diversity definitions used by staff.
