Individual learning plan (ILP) Each young person should have an ILP set by the education department that sets out their individual education needs and how these will be met. Integrated resettlement support (IRS) IRS is a programme run by YOTs. Young people will be allocated an IRS worker who will provide support with their resettlement needs, meeting them while they are in custody and supporting them on release in the community. Looked after child Looked after children are those in the care of the local authority who will have an allocated social worker. For the purpose of this report, this includes young people subject to a care order, accommodated by voluntary agreement immediately prior to entering custody, or those entitled to leaving care support (‘eligible’ or ‘relevant’ children). See Appendix III for a detailed definition. Personal officers Each young person should have a personal officer, who is based on their residential unit and should assist the young person with any day to day problems or concerns. The personal officer should work closely with the young person’s caseworker. P-Nomis This is the prison service IT system holding personal details of all prisoners. Recall Young people released with licence conditions can be recalled to custody if they breach their conditions. Resettlement broker Each young person at the Heron unit at Feltham has an allocated resettlement broker. They work with the young person while in custody to help arrange plans for their release and provide intensive support for at least six months on their release. Release on temporary licence (ROTL) ROTL is the system allowing a young person to leave the prison temporarily, either for compassionate reasons or to help improve their chances of resettlement. Training plan All young people in custody should have a training plan outlining the activities they will engage in as they serve their sentence and plans for their release. The activities should be based on targets and objectives drawn from each young person’s needs and aspirations. The targets should be discussed, and progress reviewed, at regular meetings. Young offender institution (YOI) YOIs hold young people aged 15 to 21 years. This report solely refers to YOI places commissioned by the Youth Justice Board which hold young people under the age of 18. In some instances young people aged 18 who are close to their release are kept within the young people’s estate until release. 6
Youth Justice Board (YJB) The YJB oversees the youth justice system, which includes commissioning places within the prison estate for those aged under 18 years. The YJB sets out minimum requirements that youth justice services, including custodial establishments, must meet within its national standards 4 . Youth offending team (YOT) Every young person in contact with the criminal justice system is supported by a YOT, which helps them to address their needs with the intention of preventing further offending. YOT case manager The YOT case manager has overall responsibility and accountability for delivering a young person’s sentence and ensuring that it achieves its objectives. He/she should assess a young person’s risks and needs, and agree targets for the young person’s training plan and plans for their release. 7
