Community Panel Member

Warwickshire Youth Justice Service

You did not enter a postcode in the search, or the postcode for this role is unknown.

Panel Members are representatives of the community who work with the Youth Justice Service and together we support young people who have been sentenced by the Court to a Referral Order.

You would meet young people and their families at panel meetings. Panel meetings are inclusive of the young person and take a restorative approach.

Before the meeting, Panel Members are provided with a report about the young person, the offence, and the impact on any known victims.

At the meeting, Panel Members help create an environment where the young person shares information, so the panel members can find out what happened, how the young person and their family have been affected by this offence. The panel member with the young person will consider how the harm might be repaired and how the risk of further offending could be reduced.

After hearing from everyone at the meeting, Panel Members agree a Referral Order contract with the young person. The contract sets out what the young person wants to achieve during their Referral Order so that they can begin to repair harm, address any factors in their lives that may have led to their offending behaviour and identify other support to help the young person move forward in a positive way.
