ACTION PLAN
DTO TRAINING PLANS
TARGET: Ensure that all initial training plans for DTOs are drawn up within 10 working days of sentences being passed
Context
Supervision of young people in custody is carried out by the generic Case Managers in the two community supervision teams. Werrington, Stoke Health and Brinsford provide the placements for 2/3 of the young people sentenced to custody. All three establishments are over 70 miles from the YOS. The remaining third are scattered around the country.

- Performance is now above Family Group (89.3%) Region (87%) and National (85.2%) comparator groups.
- The Head of the YOS chairs the Regional Youth Resettlement Pathway Group (part of the Regional NOMS Changing Ways Reducing Reoffending Action Plan) which brings together YOTs and the secure estate to improve provision for young people remanded to and sentenced to secure establishments and which has developed a regional resettlement protocol.
Focus for 2007/8
- Improve YJB KPI performance on attendance at DTO Planning Meetings
- Implement the regional resettlement protocol.
