Youth Offending - Final Warning.

The principal aim of the youth justice system is to prevent offending by children and young people under the age of 18. The Youth Justice Board supports the achievement of this aim by:

• advising the Home Secretary on the operation of, and standards for, the youth justice system
• monitoring the performance of the youth justice system
• purchasing places for children and young people remanded or sentenced to custody
• identifying and promoting effective practice
• making grants to local authorities or other bodies
• commissioning research and publishing information.

This service is delivered via Staffordshire Youth Justice Board; These Teams provide services for children and young people who are involved in offending behaviour, or who are at risk of offending.
