Table 2 Key youth recommendations from the Bradley Report Executive Summary (2009)

- Youth Offending Teams must include a suitably qualified mental health worker who is responsible for making appropriate referrals to services.

- The Government should undertake a review to examine the potential for early intervention and diversion for children and young people with mental health problems or learning disabilities who have offended or are at risk of offending, with the aim of bringing forward appropriate recommendations which are consistent with this wider review.
