Children and Young People
Click to read about how the youth justice system works, and what and who is involved at each stage. Read our information on youth offending teams, who work with young people to prevent offending and reoffending, and also how crime can be stopped before it has started, through prevention programmes.
See our section on custody, which includes details on the advice available for young people who are in custody or who have recently left, and guidance on how families can get money to visit young people in custody. We also have information on the help available when young people leave custody.
You can also download LockDown, a magazine by and for young people in custody.
