Lancashire Youth Offending Team

Who We Are

Lancashire Youth Offending Team works with 10 - 17 year olds and their families and carers, who may be:

• Referred to us by the Police following an offence for which they received a final warning
• Going through the courts
• Placed under our supervision as part of a community custodial sentence
• Referred to us by a case conference called in response to anti-social behaviour
• Identified as being at risk of offending
• Lancashire Youth Offending Team (YOT) was set up in April 2000 following national guidance to improve the way young people are dealt with when involved in the criminal justice system

Lancashire consists of six operational teams in locations across Lancashire - Fleetwood, Lancaster, Preston Chorley, Accrington and Burnley. Each team is made up of a number of workers including a police officer, health worker, education worker, social worker and a probation officer. There will be other workers in the teams and they will be responsible for the different projects and programmes operating in their area.

Alongside the six operational teams there is a central management services team, based in Preston.
