Section 3: Initial assessment of need, continued

9What factors do you consider should be addressed in the young persons Training Plan?
Note: The Training Plan should be developed using this list of Relevant Factors from which objectives will be set (including those for education) to tackle offending behaviour. The child/young person’s achievements will then be assessed, including whether they should be considered for transfer to the community early, at the mid-point or late. Some of the objectives should also help with the child/young person’s wider developmental, social and healthcare needs.
Note: Explain how the setting of a particular objective will address the child/young person’s needs, including offending behaviour. How might these build upon successes (i.e. leisure/sporting, training, work or academic achievements)?

Section 4: Meeting assessed need

10How can these factors be addressed through the services provided by the custodial facility or the Yot? Are there activities that the young person was involved in whilst in the community that could continue during custody?
This section needs to be filled in after discussion with the supervising officer. Please identify courses, programmes and other activities that will meet the assessed need. Attach to this document any specialist assessments prepared in the custodial facility.
Note: T2 objectives will be set according to the Relevant Factors identified in this section. It is important to indicate whether or not the required course/programme etc is available. It may be that the child/young person will need to be assessed for a programme – please indicate. You may identify a need that cannot be met by the establishment or Yot – please comment. Try to be imaginative in your planning.
Note: Mention ROTL or Mobility issues if it is believed that these may be needed to fulfil the Training Plan.
