Support for young people in conflict with the law

We support young people aged 18 to 25 in South Lanarkshire who are in conflict with the law. Our Whole System Approach team helps you stay safe, understand what has happened and work towards positive change.

Who we help

We work with young people who:

• have been offered diversion from prosecution
• are on bail or bail supervision
• have a Community Payback Order or a Structured Deferred Sentence
• need a Care and Risk Management plan
• need support whilst their liberty has been deprived and support reintegration to the community

If you want support, you can also ask for help even if you are not required to do so.

What we do

We work alongside you to understand what is happening in your life and agree a plan that supports your safety, wellbeing and future choices. Your plan may include:

• help with mental health and emotional wellbeing
• support with alcohol or drug concerns
• learning or employability support
• practical help to manage day‑to‑day routines
• opportunities to build strengths and reduce risks

We will stay in contact with you throughout the process, attend meetings with you and help you prepare for any hearings or court dates.

Who we work with

We work with local partner organisations and together, we offer a wide range of support so you can choose what works best for you. Your worker will bring everyone together in a small group to help you take forward your plan.
