Birmingham Youth Justice Service - a guide for parents and carers

Assessments

• An assessment is completed to understand what’s happened, what we can do to support children, young people and parents and carers.
• We want everyone to be involved in what happens next.
• We will listen, find out what’s going on in children and young people’s lives and what their view is of the future.
• We also ask parents and carers what they think is going on, and what they think about the future.  
• We might also get the views of the child’s current or last school, and any other services that are working with you.
