Youth justice

We aim to prevent offending and reduce re-offending by children and young people.

Our team consists of staff from:

• North Tyneside Council
• Northumbria Police
• National Probation Service
• Health services

Our work is overseen by a partnership board with an independent chair.

We:

• assess the risk of re-offending and causing harm
• plan and manage interventions to reduce these risks
• work with partners to prevent further offending
• make sure children and young people completing our interventions have access to the full range of services to help their chances in life
• make sure that interventions with children and young people are driven by the needs of victims and communities affected by their offending
• make sure that victims are engaged in the restorative processes with children and young people who offend
• identify children and young people at risk of becoming involved in offending
• make sure targeted and evidence-based interventions are provided directly or by commissioning services
