Young Person’s Probation

The Probation Service is an agency within the Department of Justice. Young Persons Probation is one part of The Probation Service. We play an important role in helping to reduce the level of crime and to increase public safety by working young people with criminal histories to help change their behaviour and make good the harm done by crime. We are the lead agency in the assessment and management of offenders in our community.

Target Group

The Probation Service knows that working with young people who offend is different to working with adults who offend. As a result, we have developed a division of trained staff – Young Persons Probation (YPP), to work with children and teenagers between the ages of 12 and 18 who come before the Courts, or who are in the Children Detention Schools/Centre.
