We work in partnership with a number of statutory and voluntary agencies with the shared vision of:

  1. Children, young people, and victims, first and at the centre of what we do
  2. One Coventry Approach; everyone working together to make a difference  
  3. Making a difference/reduce reoffending; safer communities, safer children and young people
  4. Workforce valued, motivated, skilled, confident and sustainable

Referral Details

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.
