To consider the recommendation from the Children and Families Committee.

Consideration was given to the Annual Youth Justice Plan 2023/24.

Local authorities had a statutory duty to submit an annual youth justice plan. Cheshire East had a shared service agreement for Youth Justice Services with the three other local authorities in the sub-region, with the governance arrangements for Youth Justice overseen by a pan Cheshire Partnership Management Board. The 2023/24 Youth Justice Plan had been drafted in partnership with Cheshire Police and other statutory partners and was approved by the Cheshire Youth Justice Management Board on 23 June 2023.

RESOLVED:

That the Cheshire Youth Justice Services Youth Justice Plan 2023/24 be adopted.

That the Children and Families Committee:

1. Be sighted on the Annual Plan of the Young Justice Service.

2. Note paragraph 17 of this report and the requirement for the report to be considered and adopted at full council.

3. Delegate authority to Executive Director of children’s services to approve the report at the pan Cheshire youth justice board.
