YISPs (Youth inclusion and support panels)
Where you might hear it: Anyone involved in youth justice will be familiar with YISPs.
What does it mean: YISPs are multi-agency planning groups run by youth offending teams and include representatives from social services, the police and schools. They exist to ensure that eight- to 13-year-olds at risk of offending have access to services that could reduce the likelihood of them getting involved in crime. Families are encouraged to work with YISPs on a voluntary basis.
How to use it: Contact your local youth offending team to ask if your area has a YISP. If it does, see if you could become a member. If not, find out how to set one up.
