Youth Offending Team

The Croydon Youth Offending Team aims to improve performance in tackling offending by children and young people aged 10-17. It is made up of representatives from the local authority, police, National Probation Service, health authorities and other local organisations. This multi-agency approach is designed to address the risk factors associated with offending and to meet the individual needs of young people.

Our aims

  • work in partnership with other agencies to reduce youth crime
  • ensure that each young person who breaks the law is dealt with without delay and in a manner that meets the needs of the individual
  • work with young people to address the particular issues that put them at risk of offending
  • encourage consultation with young people about the services they receive and ensure that our service reflects and values fairness, equality and diversity
  • confront young offenders with the consequences of their behaviour in relation to themselves, their family or carer, the victim and the community to develop a sense of personal responsibility
  • encourage young people to provide reparation to victims
  • reinforce the responsibility of parents to help them prevent their children from offending
  • protect the public.
