The Buckinghamshire Youth Justice Strategic
Plan 2023-2024 provided details of progress made against agreed
outcomes for Children and Young People. It outlined priorities,
alongside potential future challenges for the partnership over the
coming year. It also highlighted the partnership arrangements and
budget position for the Youth Offending Service Partnership.
 
The Buckinghamshire Youth Justice Strategic
Plan for 2023-2024 was produced in consultation with strategic
partners. This was done through a series of focus groups which were
held with representatives from the police, probation, magistrates,
health, and Buckinghamshire Council services, including
Children’s Social Care, Education and Community Safety, as
well as representatives from voluntary organisations such as
Barnardo’s and ‘SAFE!’. The plan was produced in
line with guidance published by the Youth Justice Board (YJB) and
must be submitted to the Youth Justice Board for England and Wales
and published in accordance with the directions of the Secretary of
State.
 
RESOLVED –
 
That the
Youth Justice Strategic Plan 2023-24 be endorsed, and it be
forwarded to Council who be
recommended to adopt it.
