UK Youth Justice Board

The UK Youth Justice Board is an organization responsible for overseeing and supporting the juvenile justice system in England and Wales. Its role is to ensure young people who offend are dealt with fairly, safely, and appropriately. The board sets policies, provides guidance, and monitors how youth offenders are treated to promote rehabilitation, reduce reoffending, and protect the community. It works with local authorities, courts, and youth justice services to develop effective programs that address the needs of young offenders, aiming to help them turn their lives around and avoid future crime.
