Details

The assessment process contained in these documents has been approved by the YJB, and is known as Onset. Onset helps to identify the risk and protective factors that affect a young person’s chances of entering the youth justice system. It also provides information which might be helpful in selecting appropriate interventions for those identified as needing this early on.
