• Conducting assessments using Youth Justice Board (YJB) approved tools to understand offending, risk, safety, and wellbeing; taking necessary measures to ensure that welfare needs are dealt with effectively and public protection considerations are appropriately managed.
• Ensuring that victims’ voices are considered and their views reflected in restorative approaches with children and families.
