Children in the Youth Justice system
The Youth Justice Service is a multi-agency team who work with children and young people with the aim of reducing the number of children and young people entering the criminal justice system, reducing offending and re-offending.
The Youth Justice Service is responsible for the supervision of children and young people subject to pre-Court interventions and Court Orders; however, preventative work is a priority.
The Youth Justice Service will work alongside Children’s Social Care, to complete holistic assessments that are mandated by the Youth Justice Board, namely: Asset Plus Assessment & the Prevention and Diversion Assessment Tool.
