The Probation Board for Northern Ireland (PBNI) have been tasked in the Executive Action Plan to lead work on the initiative for young men, as proposed in recommendation B12 of the Three Person Panel’s report. PBNI has appointed a coordinator to begin preparatory work on this programme of work. In 2016/17, this will involve working with partners in the voluntary, community and statutory sectors to develop the programme for full implementation from 2017/18, and running interventions aimed at providing mentoring support for young men in the community.
