Bath & North East Somerset Youth Offending Team

The Youth Offending Team is a multi-agency team, managed within the Children’s Services Department, and includes staff from Health, Police, Probation, Education, Social Care and Connexions.

The YOT takes most of its referrals from Police and the Courts; services include:

• Compass Project for young people aged 8 - 17 at high risk of   offending
• Advice and support for young people involved in anti-social behaviour
• Bail Supervision and Support
• Intensive Supervision and Surveillance for young people who offend persistently
• Work with parents/carers, including those subject to Parenting Orders [except those made via the Education Act]
• Family Intervention Project for families of young people at very high risk of offending or re-offending
• The Local Authority produces an annual Youth Justice Plan which sets out details of how services are to be provided and resourced
