Performance > YOT Performance
First Time Entrants (FTE)
Bradford has shown a 50% reduction in First Time
Entrants
(FTE) in the Youth Justice system in since 2005/6.
This is significantly better than the Regional
average of 12% and National average of 6%.
This results in fewer victims of crime and less
young people with
criminal records that may hamper their chance of
getting future
employment. -

The YJB has also released a bulletin on the 2007
National Reoffending figures for Young Offenders.
Frances Done, Chair of the Youth Justice Board for
England and Wales said, “These are very encouraging
figures which indicate that children and young
people are committing fewer and less serious
offences. The YJB would like to pay tribute to the
hard work undertaken by dedicated professionals in
the youth justice system”. -

Youth Justice Planning Framework Results
December 2008
The Youth Justice Board for England and Wales have
introduced a new performance monitoring framework
which judges the performance of YOTs based on a set
of national indicators, operational criteria and a
small case sample. The YJB assessed Bradford YOT in
September 2008 and judged us to be performing
excellently (one of three YOTs in Yorkshire and
Humberside in this category). -

YJB Capacity and Capability Assessment
We have recently completed an annual
Youth Justice Board Capacity and
Capability Assessment (CCA) report which is
sometimes called
a
Youth Justice Plan. The CCA focuses on:
-
The quality of our Assessments & Intervention
-
The fairness & effectiveness of our services
-
The services we provide for victims and communities
-
The skills and training needs of our staff
-
The strength of the local YOT partnership
National Indicators
The National Indicator Set consists of 198
performance targets which local authorities
previously reported on. The public services in each
area now negotiate a joint 'Local Area Agreement'
with the government, identifying which of these
targets are most important for their local
communities. The Youth Justice Service is
responsible for helping to achieve 6 of these
targets for North Yorkshire :
-
NI 19: Rate of re-offending by young offenders
-
NI 43: % of young offenders receiving a custodial sentence
-
NI 44: Ethnic composition of young offenders
-
NI 45: Young offenders engagement in education, employment or training
-
NI 46: Young offenders access to suitable accommodation
-
NI 111: First time entrants to the youth justice system.
