Glossary This glossary explains some of the commonly used terms within the following report. ASSET This is the standard assessment tool used by youth offending teams to collate information on a young person who has come into contact with the criminal justice system. It is intended to identify a range of factors that may have contributed to the offending behaviour of the young person. Barnardo’s Barnardo's is a charity which provides a range of support, counselling, fostering, adoption and training services for more than 100,000 children, young people and their families. Case supervisor The case supervisor within an establishment is usually responsible for the delivery and implementation of a young person’s training plan by working closely with the young person, youth offending team case manager and other relevant people. Connexions Direct Connexions is a government initiative that provides information, advice and support to young people between the ages of 13 and 19 on a range of issues, including career planning, education, training and employment 1 . Detention and training order (DTO) A DTO is a custodial sentence. The length of the sentence can be between four months and two years. The first half of the sentence is spent in custody while the second half is spent in the community under the supervision of the youth offending team (YOT) 2 . Early release Young people on DTOs lasting between eight and 24 months can be released one or two months early on an electronic tag. Young people convicted of certain offences are excluded but otherwise presumption is in favour of early release unless there are good reasons not to. For those serving determinate sentences of three months and less than four years, other than DTOs, home detention curfew (HDC) may be available 3 . ETE Education, training and employment. Family support/liaison worker Some YOTs and establishments have a family support/liaison officer whose role is to support and develop family relationships. Information, advice and guidance (IAG) Some establishments have IAG workers who will provide young people with advice and guidance on ETE. 5
