Youth Offending Service

This multi-agency service has created a holistic approach to work with the families of children and young people who commit criminal offences, involved in anti social behaviour, or who are at risk of doing so. The service will work with families to address all relevant issues such as gang affiliation, poor school attendance, health issues, drug misuse, parenting skills or a variety of other issues that may pose a risk of young people offending or re-offending. Referrals are mainly via police and courts but also via other agencies such as schools and Social Care using the CAF process.
