Youth Offending Project

The Preventing Young Offending Project

The project works with young people who:

  • have been identified as being prolific offenders or who have been convicted of a high number of offences
  • need specialist help, i.e. keeping safe, risk assessments or treatment packages for juvenile sex offenders
  • would benefit from preventative input i.e. outdoor pursuits, challening anti-social behaviour groups, drama etc.
The young people are offered one to one social support, education support, group work provision, anger management, counselling, outdoor activities and a range of workshops. Parents are supported in a range of ways, as are their brothers and sisters. For more information about the Preventing Young Offending Project contact Rhona Lucas on (023) 9222 0200. Link 11  ( MB)
