Wirral Youth Justice Service provides a service for young people aged 10 to 17 who have been involved in offending behaviour. It is a multi-agency service, made up of social workers, youth justice workers and staff from education, police, probation and health.
The youth justice role supervises young people who have been referred by the police for out of court disposal and those sentenced by the Court. Assessments of need, risk, safety and wellbeing are undertaken, and appropriate interventions are designed and delivered. These include offence-focused work, reparation, support for education, training and employment, mentoring service, substance misuse work and health-related support (14 to 19 nurses).
Parents and carers can be offered support through the parenting service. Victims of youth crime are consulted, and we will arrange for reparation and other forms of restorative practice (if appropriate) to be carried out to include the victim’s wishes.
All young people aged 10 to 17 who have been involved in offending behaviour
