Answer: We work together with 8-13 year olds and their families to try and prevent offending or re-offending behaviour and promote positive futures for these young people. Every young person we work with is different and we adapt our approach according to the individual. We do try and link our young people into positive community activities that link them back in to their neighbourhood. This may be a local sports team, leisure club or other hobby or interest that they enjoy. We also do some one-to-one or group work with young people.
