The outstanding rating means Bromley is recognised as one of the country\u2019s leading local authorities for Youth Justice, with only 4 other councils in London recognised as ‘outstanding’. Nationally, 17 Youth Justice services have achieved an ‘outstanding’ rating. Additional \u2018outstanding\u2019 recognition was also received for resettlement, meaning there is a high-quality, evidence-based resettlement service for children leaving custody.<\/p>

Councillor Kate Lymer, Deputy Leader and Executive Councillor for Children, Education and Families said, \u201cThis is heartening and welcome news which is directly attributable to the professional dedication of so many, which the Inspectorate highlights, including our partners.\u00a0We pay tribute to this work, which can be immensely challenging but which directly helps each child to succeed.\u00a0We welcome the findings and recommendations and will consider the best ways to bring these forward to improve still further.\u201d<\/p>

As part of the inspection, several different aspects of the Youth Justice were assessed, which included organisational delivery (leadership, staffing and facilities), the management of children serving court sentences (court disposals) and children serving cautions or community sentences (out-of-court disposals). All service areas were judged to be ‘outstanding’ or ‘good’, with an overall rating of outstanding and a total score of 33 out of a possible of 36 points.<\/p>

In addition to the impact that Youth Justice service\u00a0staff, leaders and partners have on the service, the report also draws attention to the statistics which also show the impact. The Inspectorate\u2019s report notes that there \u201cis a focus on improving impact and this is supported by evidence showing significant reductions in the reoffending of its cohort of children\u201d with the statistics also showing the reoffending rate in Bromley being lower than the national figure.<\/p>

The outstanding inspection outcome for Youth Justice follows earlier news last year that an Ofsted inspection of Bromley\u2019s Children Services concluded that children in the borough receive \u201cexceptionally strong services\u201d, with an outstanding rating in all categories.<\/p>

The report is available on the\u00a0HM Inspectorate of Probation website<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
