• Convened by the Barrow Cadbury Trust• Promotes need for distinct & radically different approach,
proportionate to maturity & responsive to specific needs • Membership : leading criminal justice, health and youth organisations • The T2A Alliance has produced more than 40 research & policy
reports• Six T2A projects, including three main T2A pilots, have been running
since 2009, demonstrating effective interventions for young adults in the criminal justice system.

Why young adults (18-24)?• Less than 10% of population, are disproportionately involved
in CJS• 1/3 of those on community orders• 1/3 probation service caseload• 1/3 of those sentenced to prison• But… also most likely age group to desist and ‘grow out of
crime’• Wrong intervention can slow desistence• T2A approach recognises difficulty of transition, maturity, that
becoming an adult is a process not an event & that diversity within the age group required specific support

Going for Gold: Green shoots & evidenceContinuity of support for young adults & their families to enable desistance from crime. 3 Pilots (2009):• West Mercia, YSS (charity) works with 17-25 year olds with
high needs, on community sentences. In 2012 became the ‘preferred provider’ for WM Probation.
• In London (Southwark & Croydon) St Giles Trust ran through the gate service for young adults involved in serious gang-related crime. Expanded into other areas & Croydon Probation has now set up own young adult service.
• Birmingham T2A, run by Staffs & W Mids. Probation, targets 17-24 year olds at medium risk of offending , tailored intervention based on maturity.
