Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what deadline he has set for ensuring that data on diversionary practices in youth justice pass the data quality threshold for inclusion in the annual youth justice statistics.
The Youth Justice Board is responsible for publishing the annual youth justice statistics on children within England and Wales.
To ensure that data meets the required quality standard for national statistics, the Youth Justice Board plans to release data on diversionary outcomes in January 2026 as part of the 2024/2025 publication.
