Improving outcomes for young people by bringing information together
Providing a single, comprehensive view of a young person’s circumstances, our intuitive youth justice case management software brings together your Capita-recorded information from other departments and agencies, including youth support services and education data such as attendance, attainment, SEND, exclusions, looked after status and free school meals.
Interactive tools include navigational aids, graphical representation and prompts. The user-friendly dashboard shows caseload, clients in breach, due in court, appointments and more, with the system providing access to the whole history of a young person to reduce the need to collate information.
Fully compliant with statutory returns and AssetPlus requirements (including case transfer and reporting), our software includes unique additional features to make returns easier to reference and complete. Time-saving tools such as indicators and tick boxes show which sections and mandatory questions are outstanding, simplifying the process with fewer screens, checks and clicks.
The intuitive case management and reporting supports youth offending teams to work more efficiently and effectively, freeing time to spend face-to-face with young people. And with the full picture, including information about other services’ touchpoints with a young person, areas of concern are flagged earlier in the process so staff can make more informed decisions to safeguard the young person and their community.
East Riding of Yorkshire was the very first youth offending service in England and Wales to achieve full marks on their inspection – watch the video to see how our software helped ⤴

At Southend-on-Sea Borough Council data is frequently shared between the many different teams working with young people and their families. They implemented our youth solutions to simplify the process of data sharing. Being able to see a complete picture of the issues affecting a young person’s life has helped teams work more effectively and make more informed decisions to target services where they are needed most.
Alex Bridge, Team Manager of Southend-on-Sea’s Youth Offending Service explains: “Now we can quickly identify which other agencies are involved with the family with access to current and historical interventions, such as school attendance issues, levels of educational attainment and learning needs or attendance at local youth groups.
“This enables practitioners to quickly build a picture of the life and needs of the young person and their family, and the factors that are often associated with being at risk of anti-social behaviour or criminal activity.”
Each time a young person is assigned to me, their name appears on my homepage as a hyperlink to the case. I also see my appointments, young people who’ve breached, and who’s due in court.
I look at Daryl’s details, who’s been arrested for assault. I see our troubled families team has been working with the family - his dad left recently which has really affected them. Knowing this helps me complete the AssetPlus stage and when I meet Daryl later for court.
I meet with Kieran who’s due to leave custody. From our parenting worker’s notes, I can see his relationship with his mum has improved and he can move in with her. Our Youth Service had previously recorded his aspirations to be a mechanic and I’ve found an apprenticeship for when he’s released.
Later I accompany Carly in court. She’s not known to us but I can see she’s had three looked after residential placements in 18 months. She’s also had several SEN assessments and poor school attendance led to a youth worker contacting her. From this, and my conversation with her, I quickly have a comprehensive overview of Carly’s circumstances to prepare us for court.
