Welcome to our youth pages.
If you are young and have a problem, we are here for you. Try looking on our pages on the menu above, where you can also test your knowledge on a whole range of issues affecting young people.
If you can't find what you are looking for here, why not contact us for an appointment, or get advice by email.
For more online advice, try the national Citizens Adviceguide, which has lots of information on a whole range of issues.
If you are looking for work experience, we can offer it. See our volunteering pages for the types of things you could do here.
Schools
We are hoping to offer our services to local schools, in the form of visits, teaching resources and work experience. If you are a local teacher and have ideas, please contact our Resource Manager Carol Groves on 01903 725960 or email us now.
Trouble
Have you got yourself into a situation with the law that you can't cope with?
It's important that you know your rights, how the courts and police will deal with you, and the range of likely outcomes for you.
If you need advice, we can help you.
Family and Home
The stereoptypical happy, balanced two parent family is a rare thing.
For some of us, the place where we should feel safest is a place of trial and discomfort.
Perhaps your parents are splitting up and you can't cope. You could be suffering from abuse - physical, psychological or sexual - by a parent or sibling.
Whatever problems you are having in the home, we can advise you what you can do and where you can go.
Youth Groups
We are hoping to establish outreach work in youth clubs in the near future. If you are involved in a local youth group and have any ideas that you would like to share with us, please email us now.
Police
If you are over the age of ten, you can be fingerprinted, photographed and searched while you are in police custody.
The procedures governing the treatment of children and young people by the police are set out in the codes of practice made as a result of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984.
If these procedures are not followed, the evidence obtained may be excluded by a magistrate or judge in any subsequent court proceedings. This may lead to the case being dismissed.
In addition, disciplinary proceedings can be brought against police officers who act in breach of the codes of practice
