Description
H&F are seeking interest from the market on the following one year service to be mobilised imminently:
A Junior Attendance Centre (JAC) programme focusses on supporting the reduction of reoffending for young people aged 10-17 through enabling development of social and practical skills to achieve positive outcomes.
A requirement to attend a JAC is available as a standalone or additional requirement of a Youth Rehabilitation Order under the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008, or as a consequence of breach in respect of a range of court orders. Therefore, this provision supports the Hammersmith & Fulham Youth Justice Service to meet KPIs to minimise the use of custody by providing an alternative recommendation to a custodial sentence. The programme is run on Saturdays, fortnightly between 10am and 12pm.
The JAC offers a direct alternative to custody, young people can also be referred for JAC as part of a bail support package or Remand to Local Authority Accommodation conditions, offering a robust community option as an alternative to these young people otherwise being remanded into custody (at a significant cost).
Suppliers that have capacity and resource to mobilise this contract within the borough immediately are invited to express their interest.
