AYM
The Association of Youth Offending Team Managers
We have created what we think is a useful template for YOTs to use
to induct new members to their Management/Partnership Boards.
The presentation has been trialled successfully in one youth justice
service.
We thought members might like to adopt the presentation for their
use and so we have added this to our website where you can
download it and amend as required to make it your own.
