Summary
Calderdale strives to develop our community to improve the local economy. Within Calderdale the Youth Justice Service is a statutory service working with young people aged between 10-18 who are subject to statutory court, out of court disposals orders or preventive support. The principal aim of the youth justice system is to prevent offending by children and young persons; pursuing our vision of a Child First youth justice system by providing intervention that tackles the factors that put the young person at risk of offending (personal, family, social, educational or health) and strengthening their ‘protective factors’. We aim to treat children fairly and prevent harm through exploitation.
The Youth Justice service consists of three pods, each led by a Practice Manager who provide support to a team off workers, case managers, and specialists. You will also work closely with colleagues across the council and partner agencies to ensure best outcomes for children and families in our caseload. Creating sustainable positive changes, while safeguarding victims and the community.
