The Youth Offending Service (YOS) has a statutory duty to prevent offending and re-offending by young people. This duty is achieved through the provision of a wide range of services to young people, their carers, victims of crime, Courts, and the local community. In particular, the YOS is responsible for the management of risks presented by, and to, young people in Wokingham.
