Local areas’ multi-agency responses to serious youth violence will be the focus of upcoming thematic JTAIs carried out by Ofsted, Care Quality Commission (CQC), HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) and HM Inspectorate of Probation (HMIP), starting in September 2023.
Inspections will focus on how the police, children’s social care, education, youth offending services and relevant health services in local areas work together to address and prevent serious youth violence. The inspectorates will consider interventions with individual and groups of children to see how well agencies help them and reduce the risk of serious youth violence.
The JTAIs will also consider multi-agency interventions in places such as parks, streets and shopping malls, where individual or groups of children are at risk, to improve safety for children and for communities. In addition to individual local area reports, an overview summary of the thematic will be published.
