The YOT team aims to reduce offending behaviour by young people through the medium of Parenting Support and Education. Our parenting Co-ordinator works in partnership with a local family centre.

The YOT understands that parents want to offer their children the best possible chance in life, but this is not always possible. The interventions can be with families in a preventative manner, catering for parents of young people who are not yet engaged in serious ant-social behaviour, but might be at risk of developing in that direction.

When the courts make a Parenting Order the YOT will actively engage with the parents offering interventions including support, guidance and education.
