This report, commissioned by the Youth Justice Board (YJB) and authored by Revolving Doors, outlines ways to influence and improve practice across the sector.

It presents case study examples of local practice delivered by youth justice services and their partners to tackle racial disparity and over-representation in the youth justice system.

The report showcases a range of promising practices across England and Wales, which we hope can help inform services in other areas who are looking to either adapt or adopt a similar approach.

The practice examples in the report cover a number of themes:

• examples of practice that is directly working with children and their families
• work that is focused on the voices of children and collecting and sharing their views to influence positive change
• ways to influence practice across partners in youth justice
