Mike Thomas makes some interesting points on the impact of the proposed youth offending team (YOT) funding arrangements for the youth justice foundation degree (CYP Now, 30 April-6 May).

And in terms of the continuing numbers who choose to take it, the experience of the students themselves will be crucial.
