Preventing Youth Crime - Working with Young People 'At Risk' of Offending
Derby YOS has a targeted approach to work with the “most at risk” vulnerable young people in the City through the development of Youth Inclusion Projects, Youth Inclusion and Support Panels and Positive Activities for Young People. All this work is built upon the premise of early identification and referral, followed by targeted intervention work in order to divert and refocus young people into positive and sustainable activity.
