Capita’s Future of Youth Justice Conference takes its impetus from significant changes taking place in the criminal justice system and youth services. Payments by Results (PbR) initiatives in youth provision were launched just last month and the revised framework of probation inspections for youth offending teams is due out in February.

Taking place in March 2012, this event is perfectly timed to enhance your organisation’s planning, commissioning and delivery of services. The day takes a compelling look at strategic developments in the youth justice system, bringing together the sector’s key decision-makers to address the need-to-know issues and concerns, including:

• Progress of the Justice Reinvestment Pathfinders in incentivising provider behaviours
• Input from one of the PbR pathfinder pilots talking about the lessons learnt to date
• HM Probation’s new inspection framework, following the virtual reference group’s consultation
• The future role of the YJB
• Best use of the restorative justice grant money soon to be made available to youth justice
• Addressing the high incidence of mental health and learning disability issues amongst young offenders
