Bradford and District YOT, in partnership with First Group buses, have received a national award in recognition for a pilot project using restorative justice to deal with young people caught dodging paying fares.

Baroness Scotland, Minister for Criminal Justice and Offender Management, presented representatives from the YOT and First Group with their Youth Justice Alliances Award at a ceremony at the Home Office on Tuesday 8 May 2007.

The Youth Justice Alliances Awards recognise youth offending teams and secure estate establishments who have developed partnerships which are helping to combat offending and re-offending amongst children and young people.
