Identification, screening and assessment

This section is about getting the right children and young people into contact with Youth Justice and Liaison projects and about the early action that is then needed.

The section follows the 5-stage process of the Youth Justice Liaison and Diversion (YJLD) model:

Stage 1
Filter referral		 First filter: police and other frontline professionals use the checklist of risk factors to decide whether a referral should be made to Youth Justice Liaison and Diversion (YJLD)
 
Stage 2
Check service information		 Second filter: YJLD workers check what is already known and in place for the young people referred to them
 
Stage 3
Screening		 Identify potential areas of concern
Includes list of screening tools
 
Stage 4
Assessment		 Confirm any concerns identified by arranging for more detailed assessment
