Leeds Youth Offending Service

Leeds Youth Offending Service is one of the busiest in the country. In 2006/07 we worked with over 2,000 young people who committed over 6,000 offences.

Over 130 staff and 120 volunteers currently work for the YOS with additional activities under development. Staff are organised into 4 area-based operational teams, the Youth Court and Wetherby Young Offenders Institution.

In addition, we have two Intensive Supervision and Surveillance teams (ISSP), a Resettlement & Aftercare Provision team (RAP) and a Referral Order & Restorative Justice Team. Leeds YOS is proud to have retained its Investors in People Status - one of the few Youth Offending Services in the country to hold this in its own right.

Leeds is also proud to have achieved the Investors in Volunteers Status through high quality training and support of our volunteers working with the service.
