1. Introduction

Welcome to the Child Centred Policing learning module for Exeter, East and Mid Devon. In this short course, we will cover the following:

  • The role of the Youth Engagement officer

  • The role of the Youth Intervention officer

  • The Youth Intervention clinic and Form 370

  • The role of the Youth Justice Service seconded police officers

Our Vision: A youth justice system that sees children as children, treats them fairly and helps them to build on their strengths so they can make a constructive contribution to society. This will prevent offending and create safer communities with fewer victims

Youth Justice Board(‘child first’ approach)

We will ensure our staff adopt a trauma informed approach, understand early intervention will have a significant impact and work with partners to reduce criminalisation of young people. Where circumstances dictate and arrest is justifiable, we will do that in a trauma informed way

Being trauma informed

Avatar for steve53990Steve53990

In this section, we will look at trauma informed policing and how it represents a change in the way we work with young offenders, recognising and addressing their vulnerability as well as their criminal behaviour.

The video on the following page provides an overview of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and how having a trauma informed approach can support young offenders.

Youth Justice legal centre summit (March 2021)

Avatar for steve53990Steve53990

You will hear from leading experts from across the globe about their ideas for tools that can be used to confront discrimination in order to represent children better.

As in previous years, the YJLC Summit is an opportunity to bring together those who work so tirelessly in this undervalued sector, and to celebrate our community and our collective work. We hope to share knowledge, circulate innovation, and develop good practice by first identifying the bias, discrimination and fear children experience within the criminal justice system and then developing ways of tackling it. We hope that this year’s Summit will be one of many steps towards defeating discrimination.

2. Trauma Informed Policing

Further information The following videos and websites will support your understanding of Adverse Childhood Experience:

3. Gatekeeping

In this section, we look at the form 370 and how it is used by officers and partners to determine how to deal with youth offenders. We will look at understanding the complexities of gatekeeping offences where children are the offender, taking into account their own vulnerabilities. We will also look at possible disposal outcomes and how they are utilised by the Youth Offending Service (YOS).

In the following video, Chief Inspector Joe Mathews talks about the gatekeeping process, what you should be taking into account and how a youth offending decision needs to take into account a number of important factors, both from within policing and from our partners. We will also hear from the Youth Offending service regarding what happens once the form 370 is submitted to them.

4. Case Law

In this audio, Inspector Mathews discusses the significant case law that can be applied to decision making (4m)

5. Children's Homes

Inspector Mathews continues by discussing the decision making process for childrens homes and the 10 point check list. (6m30s)

6. Disposals

In this video, Matt Wilcox from Devon Youth Offending Service talks about the disposal options available to young people, and how they are best utilised to achieve the best outcome for the young offender, victim and community.

In this section, we look at the work of our partners by looking at the processes included as part of the Out of Court Disposal (OoCD) panel. The above video provides you with an understanding of the panel, it’s members and the decision making process to determine the outcome for offences by young people.
