CYOS is not an open access service, it is for young people (and their parent carers) aged 10 – 17 years of age (plus some 18 year olds, dependant upon Order, vulnerabilities etc.), who have received either an Out of Court Disposal or a Court Order.
YOS also works with victims of offending behaviour. This work can involve mediation, direct reparation, receiving letters of apology etc.YOS will contact parent/carers as soon as a young person becomes known to the service. Involvement would be encouraged at each stage of the Order; from the Initial assessment and Intervention Plan, review meetings, through to the end of order meeting.
