Acknowledgements<br />
We would like to thank all those without whose help, advice <strong>and</strong> cooperation this inspection would not<br />
have been possible. We are grateful to Dr. Monica Barry <strong>and</strong> Professor Fergus McNeill for their generosity<br />
in meeting with the lead inspector during the scoping phase of the inspection. Thanks are also due to Dr.<br />
Hannah Smithson who acted as our critical reader for this report.<br />
Particular thanks must go to the staff <strong>and</strong> managers of the six Youth Offending Teams who we visited. We<br />
are especially grateful to all the children <strong>and</strong> <strong>young</strong> <strong>people</strong> <strong>and</strong> their parents/carers who participated in the<br />
inspection interviews.<br />
