Youth Justice Service
The Youth Justice Service was established as a key part of Government strategy to reduce youth offending. The YJS works with young people aged from 10 to 18 years. The Youth Justice's aim is to minimise the likelihood of re-offending and enable young people to accept responsibility for their actions, understand the impact of the offending behaviour and directly or indirectly repair the damage done. Westmorland and Furness Council are now looking for individuals who are committed to making a difference to volunteer in this vital service.

Hear from one of our volunteers!
""I have been involved in Youth Justice Panels for around 8 years. Coming from a background in Health and Social Care I enjoy the social interaction when meeting people for the first time, respecting their individuality and trying to break down any barriers. Each person is unique and has their own story of what has led them to offend."
"I am often surprised with the amount of reflection individuals do throughout their order regarding the offence and / or the impact on victims. I enjoy final panels when we can look back on all the achievements, whether it be there first qualification, a letter of apology to a victim, finding a job.” "
