Flintshire Youth Justice Services

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.
