A to Z

The Youth Offending Team is responsible for the supervision and implementation of nearly all orders imposed by the Youth Court on young people who have been convicted of a criminal offence. The court can also impose a Parenting Order on the parents of young offenders and this is also supervised by the Youth Offending Team.

A court may make an order on a parent or guardian of a juvenile (10 to 16 years old) who is convicted of an offence , a child of 10 and over whom is made subject of an anti-social behaviour order or a sex offender order, and a child under 10 whom is made subject to a child safety order.

The court will also be able to impose this order when someone has been convicted of failing to ensure their child attends school regularly. Staffordshire County Council are responsible for supervision of the implementation of any parenting orders issued by the court.
