HMI Inspectorate of Probation praised the service over its “outstanding” work with children with a court order and “excellent” facilities and support provided at the council’s Kastor Centre, which offers learning and skills workshops to young people.
A report by inspectors states that the YJS team and partners are doing “very effective work” to keep children who have committed mostly low-level offences out of the formal criminal justice system.
Planning and delivery of services to support children and young people and how case managers support young people are also praised.
