It is our job to work with the Police and Courts to ensure that steps are taken to help young people accused of breaking the law keep out of trouble in the future.

We will look at lifestyle, mental and physical health, family relationships and attitude of each young person and can identify factors that could cause young people to offend and then put in place support to prevent these factors.

Examples of work the YJS carries out with young people includes:

• Increasing awareness of their behaviour
• Emotional awareness and thinking skills
• Victim awareness
• Peer pressure
• Gang awareness
• Education, training and employment
• Drug and alcohol awareness

We can help you with the following

• Education
• Substance Misuse help
• Access to Mental Health workers
• Accommodation concerns
• Support if you are a victim
• Help with accessing welfare support and advice
• Sign posting to other support and voluntary areas
