Advocacy for YOT Service Users

Barnsley Youth Offending Team (YOT) provides support and advocacy services for young people. This support is tailored to the young people's needs and circumstances, for example:

• if a young person is appearing in court, a member of the YOT team can give them advice and support and make representations to magistrates and other court officials on their behalf
• if a young person is seeking information, advice or services from other agencies, a member of the YOT team can liaise with the agencies on their behalf
• within the YOT, young people have access to a Voice and Influence Worker, to whom they can speak about the type or quality of YOT services they receive

The YOT team is available between 9.00am and 5.00pm from Monday to Friday at McLintocks Building, Crookes Street, Barnsley S70 6BX. 

For more information about the services they offer, you can ring them on 01226 774986 or call in and pick up one of their leaflets.
