  1. First Time Entrants Analysis of FTE data for XXX YOT

  2. FTE Target: Background • Prevention KPI : Reduce First Time Entrants to the YJ System by March 2008 by 5% against an 05/06 baseline. • £45m Funding via YJB Prevention grants to YOTs • Menu of evidence-based interventions rolled out across England and Wales • In England, many Local Area Agreements (LAAs) have reducing FTEs as a Target and a substantial number have adopted a Stretched Target (attracting a reward if achieved) • In Wales, the FTE target has been included as an outcome measure for the single Children and Young People’s Plans and as an objective of the All Wales Youth Offending Strategy

  3. Current Issues • Performance on this KPI is giving cause for concern – currently a high proportion of the 156 YOTs in England and Wales are not achieving this target . • In the Prevention QA process in Feb/March 07 a significant number of YOTs with high-performing Prevention services were found to be below target. • YOTs own analyses and reporting of issues suggests that Police policies of arresting young people may have changed in response to their Offences Brought To Justice Target (OBTJ) • YOTs are trying to influence local Policing (with some success in terms of referrals to YISPs) but are unable to influence National Policy.

  4. What is a First Time Entrant? • A young person is considered to have entered the Youth Justice System when they receive a ‘substantive outcome’- effectively a Police Reprimand, Final Warning, Referral Order etc • A young person is not recorded as an FTE when in receipt of a Penalty notice for Disorder (PND) , NFA decision or an ASBO.

  5. FTE Analysis: What the slides will show . . . . • Whether YOT FTE trend is going upwards or downwards • Whether YOT is on target to achieve a 5% reduction in FTEs by March 08 • Any trends in age , gender , ethnicity which might inform changes of targeting policy • Any changes in the types of offence (seriousness) which are bringing young people into the Youth Justice System. • Whether gravity scores for FTEs are remaining constant

  6. Gravity Scores: An Explanation • When a young person is convicted of an offence , a ‘gravity score’ or indicator of seriousness , is recorded by the YOT MI database. • By tracking the progression of First Time Entrant Gravity scores a measure of whether less serious offences are leading to substantive outcomes can be gained. • Work already done by individual YOTs has shown that , in their areas , gravity scores for FTEs are reducing. • By gathering this data YOTs have a means of demonstrating this situation to relevant partners in order to affect change.
