Transfer request forms
The YJB Placement and Casework Service is responsible for authorising all transfer requests for young people within the secure estate for children and young people. In the past, requests to transfer a young person were accepted in almost any form of verbal or written communication. This led, at times, to difficulty when assessing the suitability of a move, as the level of information received could vary considerably between cases.
From 20 October 2008 there will only be one method of requesting a transfer; on completion of a transfer request form. The appropriate transfer request form must be completed in every case where a transfer is requested.

However, the Placement and Casework Service are unlikely to routinely accept requests without consent from the appropriate person/s and/or agencies.
T Forms
The T forms are part of a set of documentation that includes the post-court report form (PCR), T1:V and T1:V-R. Together they provide a structure for assessing young people in custody and managing the training planning and review process.
This structure starts with the post-court report that YOT staff complete before a young person remanded or sentenced to secure facilities leaves the court.
Note that all forms and documents on this page open in new windows.

The T1:V form helps secure facility staff assess the young person’s vulnerability and risk when they arrive at the secure facility. The T1:V-R provides a means of reviewing this assessment.
