Torbay Youth Justice Plan 2024-25
Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Decision:
To approve the Youth Justice Service Plan 2024-25, noting that it has been approved by the Torbay Youth Justice Service Strategic Board, signed by the Chair of the Board and submitted to the National Youth Justice Board.
Reasons for the decision:
The local authority has a statutory duty to submit its Youth Justice Plan. Failure to do so may result in Youth Justice Board funding being withheld or delayed resulting in a reduced or delayed service as specified within the plan.
Alternative options considered:
There were no other options considered as there was a legal requirement to deliver the Youth Justice Service and produce the Youth Justice Plan.
Implementation:
This decision will come into force and may be implemented on 22 July 2024, unless the call-in procedure is triggered (as set out in the Standing Orders in relation to Overview and Scrutiny).
Information:
Torbay Council is required by the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 to approve an annual Youth Justice Plan that has been prepared in consultation with its partner agencies, staff and service users. The plan addresses the functions assigned to the youth justice service, and includes how services will prevent offending behaviour and reduce reoffending.
At the meeting, Councillor Bye proposed and Councillor Tranter seconded a motion that was agreed unanimously by the Cabinet, as set out above.
