Overview
Use this guide to help understand the process if you have contact with the youth justice service.
We can work with you in a supportive, non-judgemental way to give you the best chance to avoid offending. We’ll do everything we can to help you change direction.
We can support you if you:
- have a history of or current offending behaviour
- are at risk of falling into offending behaviour
- are at risk of criminal exploitation
It's important for you to know that if you decide to share information with us about a serious crime, we must ask you to declare it to the police yourself. If you do not, we must legally tell them ourselves.
If you need to find a lawyer, you can search on the law society website.
If you want to speak to the police, and it's not an emergency, you can phone them on 101.
