There is a Youth Justice Service (sometimes called a Youth offending Team or YOT) in every local authority in England and Wales. In Flintshire, the Youth Justice Service is based in Ewloe.
Flintshire Youth Justice Service works together with families and other agencies to make sure each child gets access to the support they need to divert away from further offending behaviour and work towards their aspirations.
We also work with victims of crime and ensure that they are provided with support and have an opportunity to have their voice heard.

Flintshire Youth Justice Service works with children where there is a reason to believe they are at risk of offending in the future.
If you commit a more serious offence, or you keep getting into trouble with the police, the police may decide to take the case to court.
The Magistrate will make a decision about sentencing after reading reports and hearing from the Crown Prosecution Service and defence solicitors.
Some young people may be remanded to secure accommodation or sentenced to custody depending on the court's decision.
We ensure regular communication with children, young people, and their families in a safe and respectful way, and respect privacy at all times.
