Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many children that are EEA nationals receive services from youth offending teams.
This information is not held by MoJ or the Youth Justice Board. Although local level Youth Offending Services have the ability to collect data on children’s nationality using their case management systems, it is unknown how many actually do record this information because the Youth Justice Board do not collate data on nationality centrally. This is done to reduce the data reporting burden on frontline services.
