Who is the Youth Offending Team?
Youth Offending Teams (YOTs) are multi-agency partnership organisations, resourced by staff seconded from local authority social services and education departments, the National Probation Service, police and primary care trusts. YOTs work with young offenders aged from 10-17 years old, from the point they first come into contact with the justice system, through to arrest, final warning and sentence at youth and crown court. They also provide intensive community supervision of young offenders and also undertake preventative work with young people from the age of eight and their families.
