Following the introduction of Part 4 of the Children Act 2001 the Juvenile Liaison Officer Scheme came to an end and was replaced by the Diversion Programme, which could be described as a package of measures for dealing with children under the age of 18 who commit an offence or offences. The Diversion Programme retained many of the tried and tested methods for dealing with children who commit offences, as well as introducing a number of new options. The Programme is managed by a Garda Superintendent appointed by the Commissioner and known as the Director of the Programme (Section 20).
