Secretary of State for Justice Ken Clarke said: "I am pleased Frances Done has accepted her reappointment as chair of the Youth Justice Board.
"Her experience will prove valuable as the YJB transfers its responsibilities to the Ministry of Justice and as we consult on proposals to improve rehabilitation, prevent youth crime and cut reoffending."
