Leeds Youth
Offending Service is one of the busiest in the country. In
2009/10 we worked on over 1980 orders with young people who
committed nearly 4000 offences.
Over
190 full time and sessional staff and 100 volunteers currently
work with the YOS. Staff are organised into 4 area-based
operational teams, the Youth Court and Wetherby Young Offenders
Institution.
In addition, we have an Intensive Supervision and Surveillance
Team (ISS), an Integrated Resettlement Support Team (IRS), a
Programmes Team, a Volunteering Team and a Restorative Justice
Team.
Leeds YOS is
proud to hold 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.
