Young Persons Probation

Young Persons Probation (YPP) is a division of the Probation Service working with young people under 18 years of age who come before the Courts. It works to:

• Help young offenders avoid re-offending.
• Provide integral social work services to the Children Court and Children Detention Schools.
• Convene Family Conferences with young offenders, their families and victims on behalf of the Courts.

YPP also has responsibility for implementing the Community Sanctions now available to the Courts. For more information on Community Sanctions, please see the Community Programmes section of the website.

For further information on YPP, please see the Probation Service website at  www.probation.ie.
