Issue - meetings

To consider a report of the Portfolio Holder for Childrens, Education, Skills and Early Help.

In the absence of the portfolio Holder, Cllr A Parry presented the Youth Justice Plan for 2023/24.

In response to a question from the Chairman of the People and Health Overview Committee, it was confirmed that the Portfolio Holder would be happy to discuss the report with the councillor concerned outside of the meeting.

It was proposed by Cllr A Parry seconded by Cllr J Haynes

Recommendation to Full Council

That the Youth Justice Plan 2023/24 be approved.

Reason for the decision

Youth Justice Services are required to publish an annual Youth Justice Plan which should be approved by the Local Authority for that Youth Justice Service. Dorset Combined Youth Justice Service works across both Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council and Dorset Council. Approval is therefore sought from both Dorset Council and from Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council.
