§ Kate HoeyThe Home Office has issued guidance, in conjunction with the DfEE, to both police forces and local educational authorities on the application of the truancy provisions of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. The National Operations Faculty at the Police Staff College, Bramshill, provides training for officers who manage the police input to Youth Offending Teams. The Faculty has recently established a database for use by forces on information relating to the policing of young people with a view to disseminating good policing practice. Individual forces may also provide other training to meet local needs.
