Aim To rehabilitate young offenders and involve them in the community
A project in Enfield is helping to improve community understanding of young offenders while ensuring they make amends for their actions. Enfield Youth Offending Service (YOS) identifies reparation projects under the supervision of reparation officer Daniel Fajardo.
A recent collaboration with Enfield Sea Cadets saw young people working with the YOS to help redecorate a building.
