The Youth Offending Team work with young people to prevent offending and further offending. We aim to make a positive contribution to reducing crime and disorder in Southend. YOS supervise young people aged 5-18 who are in the youth justice system, by preventative work and statutory court orders. The aim of YOS is to reduce offending and anti social behaviour; and risk of harm to self and others. Referrals come from either the police or court.
SAVS is an independent charity known as a council for voluntary service or CVS. That means we work behind the scenes to help local charities and community groups achieve their full potential. We’ve been supporting not-for-profit groups in Southend for more than 30 years.
