Support Services

The Youth Offending Team (YOT) is a multi-agency team that is hosted by the local authority and overseen by a Partnership Management Board (comprising Children's Social Care, Education, Police, Probation and Health).
The service is made up of Social Workers, Police Officers, Probation Officers and other specialists with backgrounds such as health, education and parenting.
They work with young people who have offended and support other services who work with those who are at risk of doing so.

Empowering Young People for a Better Future

We are a children and young people's charity that supports children, young people and their families through a range of services. We focus our activities on:
Prevention - street and centre-based youth work with children and young people
Targeted support - one to one and group work for children and young people who, for whatever reason, need more focused support including through alternative provision using nature-based learning to engage young people who may struggle in the school environment.
Progression Opportunities - employability and social action projects.

We also work with families with children whose behaviour challenges through our NVR - Families Together Programme. The programme focuses on supporting parent/carers to break the cycle of challenging behaviours whilst building positive relationships within the family unit. Each week will focus on a different topic, including de-escalation, parental presence, emotions and how to regulate them, unmet needs, supporter systems and applying learning.
