The MoU sets out for the public the key roles and responsibilities of the Inspectorate and the YJB in the monitoring, inspection, and oversight of youth justice services across England and Wales. It outlines an agreement between us as organisations on how we will work together to achieve the most effective oversight and understanding of the youth justice system. It summarises the key interfaces between us, as well as providing clarity on how information will be shared and utilised.
