Interventions > Arts
Bradford YOT is committed to using the arts as a
means of reconnecting young offenders with
education, training and employment opportunities,
and with their communities. We are interested
in creating long-term solutions to help young people
at risk of offending or re-offending and committing
crime or anti-social behaviour. Our experience
has shown that the arts have a significant and
unique role to play in this process.
The arts are capable of liberating the potential of
marginalised young people who, for various reasons,
have lost out.
