TitleProcess evaluation of the Newham Y2A Hub: evaluating the implementation of a specialist youth to adulthood transitions service in probation
AuthorsPhillips, J., Ward, J., Albertson, K., Cracknell, M., Duke, K., Fowler, A. and Riley, L.
Abstract

Young adults aged 18-25 years old in the criminal justice system face age-specific maturity needs, which relate to their rehabilitation. The Youth2Adulthood (Y2A) transitions Hub was developed to address these needs, alongside additional needs such as neurodiversity. The hub used a co-located probation and commissioned services model.

This process evaluation sought to gather evidence on the implementation of this bespoke hub model. Analysis of interviews with 60 members of staff and 35 young adults suggested that the Hub was implemented well. Participants were positive about the Hub and identified benefits and challenges related to its implementation.
