Wiltshire Youth Justice Service (YJS) works with children who are involved in, or at risk of offending behaviour. We do this by working with children, their parents or carers, the victims of crime, volunteers and the local community. The YJS is made up of staff from a range of organisations including the Police, Probation Service, education and Children's Social Care, all working together to support children. We also have specialist workers within the YJS who can support with health, restorative processes and education.
Community Mentoring: The volunteer meets with the mentee weekly in the community on a one-to-one basis engaging with a child or young person aged 8–17 years, through talking and various activities.
