'Centre of excellence' to share youth justice best practice

A youth offending team has linked up with a private technology firm to launch a centre of excellence to help spread best practice in youth justice work across England and Wales.

The combined youth offending service for Cheshire West, Halton & Warrington will work with information technology supplier CACI with the aim of making software systems easier to use, and developing new ways of supporting innovative youth justice projects.

New products created through the partnership will be used and tested by the four local authority areas making up the combined service.

Case studies and reports from the projects will then be shared with youth offending teams across England and Wales.

The centre's first focus will be to develop new modules for CACI's existing youth justice information platform Childview, which allows agencies such as schools or health services to access information they need about a case, so it can be used by additional services involved with youth justice.
