Youth Justice Board replaces the £1m consultant

Last month I blogged about the Youth Justice Board paying £1m over three years to one IT manager, employed as a consultant.

The Youth Justice Board has now decided to end this arrangement and instead employ a normal member of staff, at much lower cost:

An IT consultant who cost the Youth Justice Board (YJB) £336,000 last year is to be replaced by a permanent employee on a regular pay grade, CYP Now can reveal.

The move, which could save the YJB more than £200,000 a year, comes on the back of concerns raised over the high cost of employing chief information officer Mike Mackay. (Source: CYP Now)
