Youth Offending Team
Youth Offending Team

If you are aged 10 to 17 and have been charged with a crime, the courts may refer you to the Youth Offending Team.

We are here to offer support to young people and their families to prevent re-offending and ensure that justice is carried out fairly.

What does the Youth Offending Team do?

We provide:

sentence programmes to stop you re-offending and help get your life back on track
counselling for you and your family
help to make amends
advice on health and education

Equality and diversity

We recognise the diverse needs of the people we work with and will ensure equal access to services by treating all people with fairness, courtesy and respect.
