Youth Justice Plan 2007 to 2008
ACTION PLAN
SUPPORT PARENTING INTERVENTIONS
TARGET 1: Ensure that 10% of young people with a final warning supported by intervention or a community disposal receive a parenting intervention
TARGET2: Ensure that 75 % of parents participating in a parenting intervention are satisfied
Context:
A multi-agency parenting strategy underpins all parenting work in Leicestershire and the Prevention Manager sits on the Parenting Strategy Group. Leicestershire County Council funds a full-time Parenting Co-ordinator, based at the Centre for Fun and Families in Leicester, who plans and delivers the “Living with Teenagers” group for parents. Two parenting specialists carry out interventions and coordinate parenting work within the YOS. The YOS has expanded its parenting activity to work with young people at risk of offending.
Achievements in 2006/7
- 18.8% of young people have received a parenting intervention, which is above the 10% YJB KPI target. This is above Family Group (12.3%) Regional (16.9%) and National (12.9%) comparator groups
- The YOS has achieved a satisfaction rating of 97%, well above the YJB KPI target of 75%. This is in line with comparator groups.
- An additional parenting worker has been recruited to the prevention team to undertake parenting work.
Focus for 2007/8
- Achieve the new parenting KPI target (the parents/carers of 20% of young people with a Final Warning with intervention, relevant community penalty or DTO, and 20% of young people on prevention programmes, to receive a parenting intervention).
- Develop a Parenting Strategy for the YOS in line with Leicestershire County Council’s Parenting Strategy.
- Develop specific parenting provision for Black and Minority Ethnic parents and for fathers.
- Develop Parenting Interventions for specific parenting needs (e.g.” My child is offending”, “cannot get my child out of bed”, and a parent’s guide to the Criminal Justice System).
- Roll out practitioner training on parenting interventions.
- Support districts in the development of parenting interventions to tackle anti-social behaviour.
