Tameside Youth Offending Team

Tameside’s Youth Offending Team (YOT) is looking for volunteers to help run its community panels. 

The panels are attended by young people between the ages of 10 and 17 who receive Referral Orders. The youngsters are required to attend the panel meeting with a parent or guardian. The meeting is run by volunteers and an officer from the Youth Offending Team is on hand to offer support and advice.

The panel meeting is held in an informal setting and volunteers give young people the opportunity to explain their actions. The orders help young people to understand the effects of their behaviour on the community and it gives them an opportunity to make amends.

Volunteers need to be reliable and have an interest in helping young people. They can be from any age group and don’t need any previous experience as full training is given.

If you have any questions about any of the volunteer opportunities within the YOT please contact us.
