The Staffordshire Youth Offending Service

The Staffordshire Youth Offending Service (SYOS) works with Young People aged 10-17 years across the County, who have offended or are at risk of offending.  It is one of 157 teams across England and Wales.  The Service is made up of multi-agency staff with 3 area teams across Staffordshire (North, South West and South East) and a central Head Office based in Stafford.  The multi-agency workers include Children & Lifelong Learning, Police, Probation Service, ADSIS (Alcohol & Drugs Services in Staffordshire), Health Service and Connexions.  There is also a Prevention Team working as part of SYOS across the county and the Intensive Fostering Programme (IFP).  IFP is an alternative to receiving a custodial sentence.  It involves young people living with specially trained and supported foster carers for a period of up to twelve months as part of their Supervision Order.
