Powys Youth Justice Service (YJS) (including Youth Justice Prevention Service (YJPS)) work with young people aged 8 to 18 who have been involved in or are at risk of offending behaviour. Young people referred into the service are assessed in a number of ways and this includes assessment of their 'Safety and Wellbeing'. We carry out a number of interventions aimed specifically at improving mental and emotional health and routinely consult with and refer to our seconded Clinical Nurse Specialist (RMN). We also work closely with CAIS substance misuse service.
Where we are concerned for the Safety and Wellbeing of a young person, we arrange and Chair a multi-agency Risk Management Meeting (RMM) to formulate a response and risk management plan.
