They supervise a caseload of children referred by the Youth Court and by the police as out of court disposals. They will prepare reports and assessments for both the Youth Court and the Police. They will be required to assess the risks, safeguarding issues and diversity needs of children and design and deliver interventions responsive to these needs.


The youth offending officer will hold a caseload of children who have been assessed as being at risk of re-offending / or causing harm to the community, and of being themselves vulnerable and at risk. They will deliver individual and sometimes group-interventions to these children.
