Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill
9:30 am
Graham Robb: It is one of the concerns that we had. Our work with magistrates last year and other sentences says to us that the key issue here is about the training and sentencing guidelines that go alongside the Bill, to make clear the tariffs and support that are available to the young person. The feedback that we had from sentencers was that they want to know that the best resources are available to support the individual young person that they are dealing with. Therefore, we have to ensure that youth offending teams have the right assessment tools and the right support agencies to deliver those support mechanisms. I will ask Ellie to talk about the practicalities.
