 What
are YISPs?
YISP’s are multi-agency planning groups that seek
to prevent offending and anti-social behaviour by offering support services
to high-risk 8-17 year olds and their families. The main emphasis of a
Panel’s work is ensuring that children and their families receive,
at the earliest possible opportunity, mainstream public services together
with complimentary interventions from voluntary and community groups,
as appropriate to meet their needs (e.g. education, social services, youth
service and mental health services).
The work of a YISP will operate within a broader strategy
for preventing offending and anti-social behaviour by children locally,
including the use of Acceptable Behaviour Contracts and Anti-Social Behaviour
Orders.

Objectives
The objectives of the Panels are to:
- Prevent children referred to the YISP from becoming involved or further
involved in offending and anti-social behaviour
- Reduce the risk factors and increase the protective factors of children
who are involved or at risk of becoming further involved in offending
and anti-social behaviour
- Ensure that children assessed as high risk by the YISP are in full-time
education
