The Children and Young People Secure Estate is currently made up of four Young Offender Institutions for boys aged 15-17, one Secure Training Centre, eight Secure Children’s Homes and one Secure School. The YCS is dedicated to working with a wide range of central and local government partners and other agencies to improve the life chances for young people, bringing children’s voices into service design and to learning from the latest research and best practice. Vision and priorities HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) protects the public and prevents victims by changing lives. We work with our partners to carry out the sentences given by the courts, either in custody or the community and reduce reoffending by rehabilitating people in our care.

The YCS’ vision is: “Working together to make sure every child in our care is safe, supported and strives for a better future, to reduce reoffending and protect the public.” The YCS aims to be a provider of high-quality children’s services, where skilled, enthusiastic staff have the tools and capability to work with children in order to meet their individual needs, so that they are better able to lead rewarding, constructive lives upon their release. We want to ensure that children in custody are protected from bei
Employers: System Engagement, Inclusion & Redesign
North East Combined Authority
Building on learning from Year 1 of the Economic Inactivity Trailblazer and Connect to Work programmes, alongside wider disability and neuroinclusion insight, the North East Combined Authority is considering the commissioning of a single project to provide support for employers across the region. The proposed project would seek to deliver a cohesive pathway of support for employers, covering inclusive recruitment practices and progressing through to the effective embedding of inclusion and diversity within the existing North East workforce. A core principle of the proposed approach is the meaningful involvement of individuals with lived experience, to help ensure that any project design is informed by real world insight and supports practical, deliverable change. Subject to approval and further development, the project is expected to deliver direct benefits for North East CA SHINE members and to align with the Authority's wider strategic objectives, including the "home of real opportunity". Learning and outputs may also inform related initiatives such as Connect to Work, the North East Vanguard, and any future employer focused activity.

London's Violence Reduction Unit Custody Based Youth Services to Provide Support to Young People
Mayors Office For Policing And Crime
London’s Violence Reduction Unit Custody Based Youth Services to Provide Support to Young People The London Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) is undertaking a market engagement exercise on Monday 22nd June to inform the recommissioning of custody-based intervention services for 18-25s in London . The London Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) is committed to reducing violence by understanding how it affects young people and communities and by building strong partnerships across sectors, including youth work, local authorities, education, health, policing, and the voluntary and community sector. Through this work, the VRU champions prevention and early intervention, ensuring that the voices of young people are central to shaping services and driving system change. Custody-based interventions form a key part of this approach, providing support at critical ‘reachable and teachable’ moments. Background to Current Service Custody-based interventions (CBI) drive the importance of supporting young people during their critical point in their journey through the criminal justice system. Young people present in custody with complex needs and can face multiple barriers in accessing positive opportunities. Without meaningful intervention, they are at heightened risk of reoffending, social exclusion, and long-term negative outcomes. The current service provision is DIVERT, a custody-based intervention programme supporting young adults aged 18–25 at a crucial stage in the criminal justice system. The programme has been running for the past 10 years and has been funded through the London Violence Reduction Unit since 2021, reaching 9,417 young adults over the past five years. Delivered by Custody Intervention Coaches (CICs), the service operates across 12 custody suites in London and continues into the community, providing tailored, trauma-informed support. The programme focuses on addressing barriers such as housing, health, and lack of identification, while creating pathways into educatio
London’s Violence Reduction Unit Online Harms Trusted Adults Training Programme
Mayors Office For Policing And Crime
London Violence Reduction Unit Programme Title: Online Harms Trusted Adults Training Programme Indicative Contract Value: £850,000 Contract Duration: October 2026– October 2029 The London Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) is undertaking a virtual market engagement exercise on Thursday 25 June at 10:00, via MS Teams, to inform the commissioning of an Online Harms Trusted Adults Training programme. The London Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) is committed to understanding the factors that place children and young people at risk of violence, exploitation and harm, and to working collaboratively with partners to deliver long-term, sustainable solutions. We work across communities and sectors, including youth services, local government, education, health, policing and the voluntary and community sector, championing a public health approach that combines prevention, early intervention and effective support for those experiencing the greatest levels of risk and vulnerability. At the heart of our approach is the belief that violence is preventable, not inevitable. We recognise, however, that many children and young people are already navigating the impacts of trauma, exploitation, abuse and complex community dynamics. As such, our work seeks not only to prevent harm before it occurs, but also to strengthen the systems, services and trusted adults responsible for safeguarding, supporting and intervening with those most affected. Central to this approach is a commitment to partnership working, evidence-informed practice and ensuring that the voices, experiences and expertise of young people and communities shape the solutions designed to support them. Background The Mayor's Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) is seeking to engage with the market in advance of a forthcoming procurement opportunity relating to the delivery of its flagship Online Harms Trusted Adults Training Programme. The programme forms part of the VRU's wider public health approach to violence reduction and sits within a
