Our mission
The Youth Offending Service in Waltham Forest works to prevent offending and reoffending by children and young people under the age of 18. We work with our partners. Our role is to:
- Manage all court orders imposed on young people usually resident in the Borough
- Work with all our partner agencies to ensure that effective prevention services designed to reduce the number of First Time Entrants (FTE) entering the criminal justice system
- Work to promote a positive safeguarding culture for all our service users
Preventative services
The aim of pre-crime prevention is to identify children and young people who are
at high risk of offending and help them to avoid entering the Youth Justice System.
The
Youth Justice Board has developed a variety of programmes which are intended
to achieve this aim.
On a local level, we have collaborations with various local and community organisations to divert young people from offending. The projects include:
Youth Inclusion and Support Panel
Parenting
Services
Resettlement and After Care Programme
For further information about any of the projects listed contact the Youth Offending Team on 020 8496 5002.
