The match funding for local youth inclusion programmes (YIPs) and youth inclusion support panels (YISPs) has been attracted on the back of the 45m crime-prevention fund for youth offending teams that was first mooted in 2004 and was finalised last year.

Bob Ashford, head of prevention at the YJB, told Young People Now the number of YIPs will increase from 72 to 110, and YISPs will rise from about 100 to 220.
