The volunteer will be asked to be part of Community Panel
Meetings as part of the Bureau (prevention) and Referral Order (post Court)
Process.
The Bureau is an initiative to tackle low level
offending, which enables Young people to make amends for their actions without
Police intervention. The Panel Meetings are normally held across Gwynedd and
Anglesey, and they are made up of a Chairperson, the YJS Police Officer and a
Community Volunteer.
The Referral Order is a Court Order which is given to a young person who
pleads guilt to their first offence. The young person will then be required to
attend a Community Panel Meeting where 2 Community Volunteers and a YJS staff
member will create a Contract of work for the young person to work through for
the duration of their Order. The Panel will then meet up with every 3 months to
see whether the young person has addressed his/her offending. For further information, contact Mantell
