Year Olds <\/b>is fundamental to One Glasgow and the Whole Systems Approach for young people alleged to have been involved in offending behaviour. Those assessed as suitable for DfP by the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Services (COPFS) are referred to our team at Youth Justice Social Work and partners to address the underlying causes of the alleged offending \u2013 <i>without requiring the case to progress through court.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><p class=\"p2\"><b>DfP provides a more effective, tailored and appropriate intervention to young people who may still be maturing<\/b> and lacking cognitive development, manifesting in poor problem-solving skills and consequential thinking and who require an increased level of support to change their behaviour. Effective diversion should result in swifter justice than through prosecution, trial and disposal.<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><b>Scotland<\/b> <b>operates a deferred prosecution model<\/b>, with the final decision on prosecution delayed while support services are delivered.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>At the conclusion of an agreed period of support, the final decision remains with the Procurator Fiscal. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p1\"><b>Diversion<\/b> <b>can be particularly valuable for young people<\/b>, avoiding unnecessary involvement in more formal systems. In Glasgow, Community Justice Partners recognise that diversion is the responsibility of a range of partners. Those organisations involved in Diversion from Prosecution also understand the importance of consistent, clear communication between agencies and with individuals referred.<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><b>This is the Third full year of the service operating in its current form<\/b>. It has now been expanded and consists of a Social Work Team Leader and one Part-Time Social Worker, one Full-Time Social worker and support from the Intensive Support &amp; Monitoring Services (ISMS)Team Social Workers if required, for example, young people referred for sexual offences are interviewed and supported by a nominated ISMS team member under the Diversion umbrella.<\/p><p
