The primary principle is to divert young people aged 10-17 years old, who are in the early stages of offending from offending or re-offending.
The service and programmes consists of home-visits, agreed action plans, informal counselling, intensive 1:1 work, offence focussed interventions, structured group-work, advocacy (court support, appropriate adults) and personal developmental residentials. 85% - 89% of the young people do not offend or re-offend, whilst actively involved with the programme.
