Our main responsibility is to prevent offending by
children and young people within North
Somerset.
We believe the best way to do this is by making sure young people
understand the harm their behaviour has caused.
We ask them to take responsibility for their actions and attempt to
make amends to their victims and / or community.
This applies specifically to those aged 17 and under and those who
have been the subject of detention and training orders.
We are a successful multi-agency team made up of members from the
police, social services, health, education and probation
services.
Like other Youth Offending Teams we prepare an annual Youth Justice
Plan in accordance with the requirements of the Crime and Disorder
Act 1998.
