Youth Justice System

Sentences, Orders and Agreements

When young people first get into trouble, behave anti-socially or commit minor offences, they can usually be dealt with, by the police and local authority, outside of the court system, using a variety of orders and agreements. This is to stop young people getting sucked into the youth justice system too early, while still offering them the help and support they need to stop offending.

All of the sentences, orders and agreements you can get in the youth justice system, at every stage, are listed below. Click on them to see what they involve.
