Details

This framework explains how the Youth Justice Board’s (YJB) monitoring function is fulfilled. It outlines how oversight of local youth justice services (YJSs) is undertaken and delivery across the wider system is understood.

The framework reinforces putting children within the system at the heart of what we do and achieving better outcomes for them, communities and victims.
