INTRODUCTION
1. In April 2000 the Youth Justice Board for England and Wales published
National Standards for youth justice. Paragraphs 6.3 and 6.4 of those
standards refer to bail supervision and support and to bail information and
assessment. This document provides detailed standards for bail supervision
and support to which all agencies will be expected to comply.
Purpose of Bail Support and Supervision Standards
The National Standards for Youth Justice were published in April 2000, and although they
outline what is required, do not provide detail about how bail supervision and support services
should be delivered. The relevant paragraphs relating to bail supervision and support state
that:
The standards that are contained in this document are specific to bail supervision and
support. They provide a framework for service delivery that meets the Youth Justice Board
’
s
objectives (see
standard 4.1
) and provide clarity on a range of issues including programme
content, enforcement and breach.
Although bail information, the use of Bail ASSET and other remand management issues are
referred to within the bail supervision and support standards, the purpose of this document is
not to provide detailed guidance on these particular aspects |
