As team manager for Slough's Youth Offending Team (YOT), Shelley La Rose estimates that she spends 70 per cent of her time out of the office.
A lot of the job involves attending meetings with statutory agencies and the community, looking at how to reduce offending by young people.
Another challenge is to build up her team's skills by arranging appropriate training programmes so that staff can carry out effective interventions. Every three months she will focus on a cohort of young people to look at offending behaviour, and separately she oversees consultations with young men and women to find out how they can be diverted away from crime.
