The YOT's demanding target of getting young people into 25 hours Education Training or Employment has improved by 17% since 2004. This has been achieved through strong partnership work between Education Bradford, the YOT, schools and voluntary and community partners.

YOT Education Officers have strong and regular links with Inclusion Officers in the Behaviour Support service of Education Bradford. We work jointly in order to address issues of engagement with hard-to-reach young people.

We have also forged strong links at a number of levels with Bradford's schools -especially the 28 Secondary schools - and the Secondary Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) system. These links enable speedy joint working as soon as a new case with education issues comes through the Court system.
