Performance

The performance of North Yorkshire Youth Justice Service is regularly measured and assessed by national government, by our local strategic partners, and by our own management team. The aim is to ensure that our services are effective, efficient and achieve good outcomes.

Youth Justice Strategic Plan
Our annual plan for 2012/13 (click here to download - Word) focuses on the following areas:

  • Resourcing and Value for Money
  • Structure and Governance
  • Partnership Arrangements
  • Risks to Future Delivery

The 2013/14 annual plan will be published in July, 2013.

Youth Justice Indicators
The Government is focussing on three key outcomes:

  • Reducing the number of first time entrants to the youth justice system
  • Reducing re-offending
  • Reducing custody numbers

The performance of the Youth Justice Service against the three outcome indicators is reviewed quarterly by the regional Youth Justice Board team and reported to the Youth Justice Service Management Board, which comprises of senior officers from key partner agencies.
