Notes:
1) Case plans map the management of a detainee identifying particular requirements that
may include education, offender focused programs, family engagement and specific court
instructions.
2) Behavioural Management Plans identify the background of an incident or behaviour and
identifies the desired behaviours and outcomes that a detainee is to comply with when placed
on a Behaviour Management Plan.
3) Reintegration Plans identify support mechanisms that are to be in place to support a detainee
when they are released from detention and to support their reintegration into the community
and reduce the likelihood of reoffending.
Additional notes:
Youth Justice transferred to Territory Families as per Administrative Arrangement Orders of
12 September 2016.
a) Variances between planned and actual case plans reflects seasonal differences in the amount of youth receiving a sentence of
detention.
b) The decrease in requirement for behavioural management plans being implemented has been positively impacted by the strategies
put in place to encourage positive behaviours and an increase in the capacity of staff to respond appropriately to challenging
behaviour.
c) Reintegration plans (case plans) Case Management and Assessment and Throughcare services have increased focus on developing
case plans for youth.
