ANNUAL YOUTH JUSTICE PLAN 2023/24 PDF 136 KB Additional documents: Minutes: The Carmarthenshire Youth Justice Plan for 2023/24 was presented to the Committee.
The Youth Justice Plan outlined the provision of the Youth Support Service and the Youth Justice Team under a single management structure which provided a holistic approach to the delivery of youth support services across Carmarthenshire. The Youth Justice Plan also detailed the performance of the partnership during 2023/24 and also set out the priorities and improvement planning objectives for the forthcoming year in accordance with the overarching ‘child first’ principles and an ethos of continuous improvement.

An explanation was provided as to how the Youth Justice Team was funded and that the budget showed an increase of 20% for 2023/24. However, it was noted that funding for the Youth Justice and Prevention work was short term and required careful planning and monitoring against the various grant sources.

The Bureau allows both the children and the victims to have their voices heard.
