Erthygl Newyddion

Turnaround should build on existing practice and avoid duplication of support for children. Out of court disposals (OOCDs) are included in the eligibility criteria in recognition that there can be gaps in the support that children subject to OOCDs can access. When considering Turnaround interventions for children who have received OOCDs, YOTs (Youth Offending Team) should ensure that the programme will offer genuine additionality to the local offer and that existing provision is not duplicated. Where children subject to an OOCD could potentially benefit from a more in[1]depth assessment, there must be a clear case that there are additional support needs that are not and cannot be met through existing channels. If the child is already being assessed or receiving support, the YOT should consider whether there is a need and/or opportunity to join up with this work.

Eligibility Criteria

• Children aged 10-179 who fit one or more of the following criteria are eligible for Turnaround: who are interviewed under caution following arrest or subject to a criminal investigation attending a voluntary interview;

• those who are subject to No Further Action (NFA) decision (including Outcome 22);*

• those who are subject to a Community Resolution (Outcome 8)*;

• those receiving a first-time youth caution, not including conditional caution*;

• released under investigation (RUI) or those subject to pre-charge bail (PCB);

• those discharged by a court; • those acquitted at court; and/or • those fined by a court.

• those in receipt of Community Protection Orders (CPO), Civil Orders and/or Acceptable Behaviour Contracts (ABCs) for anti-social behaviour. The criteria marked with a star relate to children subject to OOCDs and we request that YOTs have reference to the paragraph below when considering these cases.
