The framework was closely informed by national best practice, including the work the Birmingham T2A pilot, which is featured as a case study.

 

Joyce Moseley, Chair of the T2A Alliance, contributed the foreword and also spoke at the launch event.

 

T2A will be working with the YJB and NOMS to ensure that more areas adopt this approach locally, and that it leads to more effective approaches for young people in the transition to adulthood.
