The service has been handed an overall rating of "good" following a visit from the HM Inspectorate of Probation team.

Staff are praised in the inspectors' report for their motivation, skills and knowledge. Meanwhile, the service’s focus on learning and development is welcomed.

Inspectors found “many positive examples” where staff worked well with children to support them into education, work and to strengthen relationships in their family.

They are also impressed by the team’s involvement of the wider community in supporting children to ensure they are supported when the involvement of the service comes to an end.

“Cambridgeshire youth justice service is performing well, and it is highly regarded by its partners,” said interim chief inspector of probation Sue McAllister.
