Can anyone refer a young person to Sheffield YOS?
Anyone can refer a young person to the Prevention Team at the YOS provided that the young person has not previously entered the Youth Justice System at a level above a Final Warning. For details on how to refer to the Prevention Team please see the Prevention section of this site. If a young person is known to the YOS at a level above a Final Warning then the only way they can be referred to the YOS is by the courts or South Yorkshire Police; referrals cannot be made by members of the public.
