Wiltshire Youth Justice Service (YJS) has received an overall rating of "good" following an inspection by His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Probation as part of its programme of YJS inspections.

The board “takes the time to mobilise financial resources for the service in their own organisations”, they said, highlighting the introduction of an additional substance misuse resource in response to a rise in the number of children, who access the service, using substances.
