The team

The Suffolk Youth Justice Service (SYJS) works with children and young people who are in, or on the edge of the Youth Justice System. 

SYJS also works with parents and carers and the victims of youth crime. SYJS is a multi-agency partnership hosted by Suffolk County Council. 

The aim is to prevent offending by children and young people and protect the public from the harm caused by their offending. At the same time, the service works to ensure the safety and wellbeing of these children and young people to enhance their life aspirations and opportunities. 

Our service operates 7 days a week, including evenings until 9pm, including home visiting to meet national standards and legislative requirements.

We want to represent the diverse communities we serve.
