Young People: Finance

Volume 501: debated on Tuesday 24 November 2009

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how much funding has been received by each youth offending team in each of the last three years; how much such funding each such team will receive in the next three years; and what formula is used to calculate allocations to such teams. (301045)

Youth offending teams (YOTs) receive funding from a number of sources. The table shows financial contributions made to YOTs via the Youth Justice Board and other Government sources (including police, probation, social services and via local authorities) by financial year:

The Youth Justice Board funding is divided between Wales and England in the ratio 5 to 85. The YJB grant funding for England is allocated to individual YOTs according to the prescribed formula, in which 40 per cent. weighting is given to the local 10-17 population, 10 per cent. to the geographical size of the area, and 50 per cent. in aggregate to ‘Deprivation Indices’—Local Concentration, Extent (the proportion of a YOT’s population living in the wards which rank within the most deprived 10 per cent. of wards in the country), income deprivement, employment deprivement, average of ward ranks, average of ward scores.

These indices are compiled by Communities and Local Government and full details are available on their website at;

http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/communities/pdr7131206.pdf

The YJB grant funding for YOTs in Wales is allocated on the same basis with slight variations on the main formula.

Additional Government funds, as reported to the YJB by YOTs, are allocated at individual local area level and the YJB has no information on how these funds are allocated

The full set of data returns from youth offending teams are yet to be submitted for 2009-10, therefore figures cannot be made available at this time. Final allocations for 2010-11 and 2011-12 will be allocated at the beginning of the respective financial year. Allocations will use the current formula outlined above.

The data contained in this answer are supplied by the YJB and comprise data supplied from youth offending teams in England and Wales via monthly or quarterly returns to the YJB. As with any large scale recording system, the data are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing and may be subject to change over time.
