YJB to slash costs by 10 per cent

1 min read Youth Justice
Youth Justice Board (YJB) chiefs are set to slash overhead costs by 10 per cent in a bid to make efficiency savings, CYP Now can reveal.

The cost-cutting exercise, outlined in the organisation's Corporate and Business Plan 2009/10, makes up one of a number of new measures being introduced to "maximise resources available".

The plan also outlines the introduction of a new portfolio management system that could see programmes and projects that fail to meet YJB aims being ditched.

Meanwhile the YJB is set to relocate from its current headquarters in Carteret Street, Westminster.

It is understood the new offices will still be in London.

The move is described as supporting the government's ‘working beyond walls agenda', a long-term plan to make home-working and mobile working more commonplace within the civil service to save cash.
