The Youth Offending Team (Yot) is made up of representatives from the Police and Probation Services, Social Services and Health and Education and works closely with the Community Safety partnership to ensure a multi-agency approach that tackles the reasons why young people offend.
Details
The Yot works in the criminal justice system in accordance with six national objectives to prevent crime and reduce the likelihood of re-offending by young people .
The six national objectives are:
- swift administration of justice;
- to confront offenders with the consequences of their offending;
- targeted interventions;
- punishment proportionate to the seriousness of the offence;
- encourage reparation to victims by young offenders; and
- reinforce the responsibility of parents.
Further Information
By offering a multi-agency service, the team is able to identify and focus appropriate resources on those young people who pose the greatest risk of re-offending.
The Youth Offending Team works closely with victims to ensure that their views are taken into account and with other statutory and non-statutory agencies that can offer support to confront these young people with the consequences of their behaviour.
