Youth Offending Service - Services

Skip main menu

Cumbria Youth Offending Service provides support and interventions to a range of individuals.  Primarily these are young people aged 10 to 17 years of age who have committed criminal offences.  However, through the prevention element of our service, our work with parents and carers, and our restorative justice interventions see our work extending to reach a range of people involved in, or affected by, youth crime. 

Overall the Youth Justice Services delivered by the Youth Offending Service include:

  • preventative work, aimed at reducing the numbers of young people who become caught up in the criminal justice system;
  • professional advice and the preparation of reports for court;
  • the assessment and supervision of young offenders;
  • support for the parents of young offenders, and
  • restorative work between offenders and the victims of youth crime.
