Establishment of a new Youth Justice Service structure and approval to recruit to vacant posts

18/06/2026 - Establishment of a new Youth Justice Service structure and approval to recruit to vacant posts

This operational decision seeks approval to implement a new Youth Justice Service structure
in Bury following Cabinet approval to end the shared arrangement with Rochdale and re establish a standalone YJS.
The new model creates a single integrated service, bringing together statutory youth justice functions and prevention services. This aligns with national best practice and strengthens early intervention, diversion, and risk management.
