ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER SUMMARY • The contribution of health services to the aims and objectives of YOTs is consistently monitored and evaluated. The Department of Health, the Department for Children, Schools and Families, the Ministry of Justice and the Youth Justice Board should ensure that: • There is a consistent framework and explicit standards for health services to improve health outcomes and contribute effectively to a reduction in youth offending. • Assessment tools are reviewed to ensure that they are fit for purpose and can be used consistently. • Analyses of health needs are carried out in each YOT and that there are sufficient resources provided to meet identified needs either directly or through access to, and support from, universal services. • There are clearer measures of performance about access to health services and how those services contribute to the work of YOTs. Strategic health authorities should ensure that they: • Demonstrate oversight and performance management of the health services’ contribution to youth offending services. The Care Quality Commission should ensure that: • It continues the contribution of the Healthcare Commission to inspections of YOTs in order to monitor improvement against the recommendations in this report. 6
ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER Introduction “The risk factors for youth offending and substance abuse overlap to a very large degree with those for educational underachievement, young parenthood, and adolescent mental health problems. Action taken to address these risk factors (and to increase levels of protection) therefore helps to prevent a range of negative outcomes. Moreover, because these outcomes are closely related (anti-social behaviour is strongly correlated with heavy alcohol consumption, for example, and vice versa), this broad based approach to prevention offers the greatest prospect of securing lasting reductions in offending behaviour.” (Risk and protective factors, Youth Justice Board, 2005) 7
