Youth Justice Services Development Strategy
This document sets out what the partners, who are responsible for providing youth justice services in Cardiff, will do by working together. It has been developed during May 2020 in a series of workshops with those involved in the services, including young people.
To make this strategy happen it is supported by a detailed development plan, also agreed by the partner services, which sets out who will do what, how and by when. This work will be overseen by the Cardiff Youth Justice Board, with an Independent Chair, to make sure the development is on track. This work fits within other relevant strategies for young people in Cardiff which aim to give the best and safest futures to all young people in Cardiff.
