Community Orders > Youth Rehabilitation Order (YRO)
In Autumn 2009 the Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill 2008 will introduce The Youth Rehabilitation Order (YRO). This will be the new standard community sentence for young people who offend, and will combine a number of existing sentences into one sentence. It aims to simplify sentencing for young people, while improving the flexibility of interventions. See the YJB website for more details

Alongside the introduction of the YRO, the national Youth Justice Board will also introduce the new "Scaled Approach" National Standards. These new rules aim to develop a tiered approach to work with young offenders in order to ensure that the highest service levels go to the highest risk cases.

Research has shown that Supervision is more likely
to be successful if we provide an intensity of
intervention matched to the needs and risks which
each young person has. Bradford YOT has already begun to prepare for this
important change, which should improve the safety of
our communities and achieve better outcomes for the
young people too. |
