title: The development of a mental health service within a youth offending team.
abstract: Positive performance indicators suggest that young offenders who have previously been reluctant to engage with a generic child and adolescent mental health service are engaging with this service. Additionally, collaborative working between agencies dedicated to meeting the needs of this client group has increased. These outcomes ultimately increase the scope for this group to have their needs addressed in a comprehensive way.
