Youth Offending Service (YOS)
The Wirral Youth Offending Service aims to prevent offending by children and young people.
It was established by the 1998 Crime and Disorder Act and is made up of staff from numerous agencies, including the Local Authority, Police, Health, Probation Service, Connecxions and other voluntary organisations. The new co-ordinated way of working attempts to take an holistic approach to tackling the problems that young people present with when they are in trouble. This can mean offence focused work, victim work, drug/alcohol work, education, training and employment work and family work.
Most of the young people and their families are sent to the Youth Offending Service by the Courts or Police but the Youth Offending Service is developing its preventative work with initiatives such as On Track and Youth Inclusion Programme. These initiatives aim to work with young people and their families at an early stage to reduce the risk of future offending.
