The Youth Justice Agency (YJA) was launched as an Executive Agency, as recommended in the Criminal Justice Review 2000, on 1 April 2003.
The YJA aims to make communities safer by helping children to stop offending. The Agency works with children aged 10-17 years who have offended or are at serious risk of offending.
The YJA provides a range of services, often delivered in partnership with others, to help children to address their offending behaviour, divert them from crime, assist their reintegration into the community and to meet the needs of victims of crime.
The overall statement of purpose for the YJA is:
‘Making communities safer by helping children to stop offending.’
Further appointments may be made from this competition should positions become vacant which have similar duties and responsibilities.
