Description

Essex Youth Offending Service (Essex YOS) wishes to commission Entry Level and Level 1 City and Guilds accredited construction training and work-related training programmes and work experience for young offenders who
1. Post statutory school leaving age, and
2. are under statutory supervision of Essex YOS (i.e. they are subject to interventions determined by the police and by Magistrates, Crown Courts or conditions set by secure institutions), and
3. Are not in Employment, Education or Training (NEET)
Essex YOS supervises a number of post statutory school age young people who are not in employment, education or training (NEET).
Some of those young people may pose a medium or high risk of harm to others and need high ratios of supervision and support in training. Those young people therefore could not access mainstream provision.
Some of those young people's behavioural and social issues (in terms of their ability to attend and engage) also means that mainstream provision is unsuitable and unsustainable for them.


Sitting within Essex County Council's Family Services, Essex Youth Offending Service (YOS) is a statutory service that supervises and supports young people on formal police disposals and community-based and custody-based court-ordered interventions to reduce offending and reoffending by young people aged 10 to 18. Custody-based interventions include young people who are remanded to custody and young people who are sentenced to custody.
