Kirklees YOT co-ordinates and delivers a wide range of programmes or interventions with young offenders and those at risk of offending.  All are designed to help the young people re-engage in a positive way.   

When a young person is sentenced at Court there are a number of requirements that can be attached to a Youth Rehabilitation Order.  One of these is the Programme Requirement.  The Court will only make such a requirement if it has been recommended by the Youth Offending Team.  Any young person made subject to such a requirement will be expected to participate in a set of activities.

There are nine programmes offered to the Court by Kirklees Youth Offending Team as requirements of a Youth Rehabilitation Order.  The central aim of all nine programmes is to reduce the risk of re-offending.  Most of the programmes are tailored to address either specific offending behaviour or the issues for young people that contribute to them offending.
