Editorial: A backward step for youth justice

    Opinion
  • Monday, May 24, 2010
    • | CYP Now
The new government's decision to give the Ministry of Justice sole responsibility for youth justice in England and Wales is massively misguided. It ends a three-year spell where responsibility was shared with the former Department for Children, Schools and Families. During that time, as it happens, the youth prison population declined from 2,927 in March 2007 to 2,207 in March 2010.

A robust case for early intervention

    Opinion
  • Monday, March 29, 2010
    • | CYP Now
Among the flurry of government announcements to come out in the dying days of this Parliament, last week's long-awaited early intervention paper is the most important.

Early help must prove it cuts care demand

    Opinion
  • Tuesday, October 30, 2018
    • | CYP Now
Graham Allen's 2011 report Early Intervention: The Next Steps makes clear that the real savings from early help lay in its ability to reduce the numbers coming into care to such an extent that fewer high-cost residential facilities would be needed.
