Youth inclusion and support panel
The support panel is a free service that has been set up to help children aged 8-13 years of age, who may be at risk of getting into trouble or at risk of being excluded from school. The panel’s aim is to help these children and their families at an early stage so that they can stay on track in the future.
The panel will have members from council services, voluntary sector projects and community groups and will be able to refer children and parents who ask for support onto services and activities that may be able to help.
The panel aims to work with children to turn their negative experiences into positives by offering packages of support such as:
- After-school clubs
- One-To-One Mentoring
- Personal Development Programmes
- Family Support
- Family Counselling
- Drama Clubs
- Sports Activities
- Health Advice
- Youth Projects
- School Holiday Activities
- School Transitions Project
- Assistance to and from activities
If you think your child would benefit from the YISP, please contact the Youth Offending Service or use the online contact form for general enquiries, request a service, compliments or complaints.
