The funding for the programme comes from the Turnaround grant with the following overall aims:

- achieve positive outcomes for children with the ultimate aim of preventing them going on to offend;
- build on work already done to ensure all children on the cusp of the youth justice system are consistently offered a needs assessment and the opportunity for support;
- improve the socio-emotional, mental health and wellbeing of children; and
- improve the integration and partnership working between YOTs and other statutory services to support children.

Training will be provided in areas such as motivational interviewing, Triple P parenting and trauma informed practice.
