Responding to the House of Commons Justice Committee’s report on Youth Justice, Joyce Moseley OBE, Chair of the Transition to Adulthood Alliance, commented:

“The Justice Committee’s findings further underline the importance of a commissioning strategy which reflects the very distinct needs of young adults in the criminal justice process.
 
“It’s particularly encouraging that the Committee has given such a strong endorsement to the necessity of maturity being considering in sentencing, and crucially to the need for more effective transitions between youth and adult services, both in the community and the secure estate.”
