Targeted Youth Support (TYS) focuses on providing early help to young people aged 10 to 21 years old (12-21 for youth counselling), who require additional support to enable them to make informed choices and maintain positive pathways. It is made up of the following service areas that provide interlinking support:
TYS works in youth centres, schools, family homes, community buildings and youth hubs in Islington. It also delivers work on the streets, in parks and on estates through detached and outreach work and two mobile units - the Y Trucks.
Young people may receive an Out of Court Disposal: triage, youth caution or youth conditional caution.
TYS staff assess and provide intervention plans, which enable young people to comply with the terms of their orders, reduce the risk of re-offending, understand the seriousness and consequences of their offending and make amends through direct or indirect reparation.
TYS support services aim to help young people and their families participate in their intervention plans and may include:

All referrals to this SEMH service will first receive safeguarding screening by Children's Services Contact Team. The multi-agency intake team will find the most appropriate service for the CYP, including TYS.
