Youth Justice Service is ‘outstanding’!

The detailed inspection saw six inspectors visit the service for a week to talk to officers, children and families and look at how the team works.

The YJS aims to prevent offending and reduce the number of children entering the justice system, working with families, victims and partner organisations to keep children and young people away from crime and create safer communities.

The ‘outstanding’ award comes just months after the city’s Children’s Services was rated as ‘good’ by Ofsted. It is the highest rating that can be awarded.
