How should we manage young people with high welfare/vulnerability needs but low risk to the public or a low likelihood of reoffending?
If a young person is assessed as requiring a standard level of intervention through the Scaled Approach but is assessed as having significant vulnerability and welfare issues, these should be addressed in line with: • local safeguarding guidelines • Common Assessment Framework; and • lead professional procedures (England) or Children and Young People’s Partnership arrangements (Wales). A referral should also be made to children’s services in England or social services in Wales for an assessment under section 17 of the Children Act 1989. Mainstream services should provide for any assessed welfare needs. Any shortfalls in available services to address these needs should be brought to the attention of the YOT’s management board.
