Youth Justice: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how the additional £46 million investment in the Turnaround programme will be allocated across local authority areas.
Answered by Jake Richards
In February 2026 the Ministry of Justice announced multi-year funding of £46 million until March 2029 for the Turnaround programme, having already invested £71 million between 2022 to 2026. The additional £46 million will be allocated to local authority areas using an established allocation method consistent with previous Turnaround and Ministry of Justice core grant allocations to youth justice services.
