Youth Justice Service

We work with children and young people aged 10 to 17 years who have offended and help prevent them getting into further trouble.

We work with a variety of organisations, young people, parents and carers to:

• support children and young people and prevent them from offending
• reduce the risk of further offending by young people and help them face up to the consequences
• work with and support victims of youth crime
• support young people who are bailed by the courts, during sentence and on release supervise young people on court orders
• assist with arrangements for a young person remanded to Local Authority care by the courts
• assist parents through voluntary support.
