To consider a report seeking approval of the 2024-27 Youth Justice Plan.

Additional documents:

Minutes:

The committee received the report on the Youth Justice Plan 2024-27. Local authorities had a statutory duty to submit an annual youth justice plan relating to their provision of youth justice services. Section 40 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 set out the youth justice partnership’s responsibilities in producing a plan. It stated that it was the duty of each local authority, after consultation with the partner agencies, to formulate and implement a youth justice plan, setting out how youth justice services in their area are to be provided and funded, how they will operate, and what functions will be carried out.

 

An amendment was moved and seconded which sought to amend the recommendation as set out in the report to:

 

That the Children and Families Committee recommend that full Council approves the 2024-27 Youth Justice Plan.

 

This amendment was carried by majority and became the substantive motion.

 

RESOLVED (by majority):

 

That the Children and Families Committee recommend that full Council approves the 2024-27 Youth Justice Plan.
