The Court will take into account your circumstances in order to decide on the severity of the sentence. The Court may ask the Youth Justice Service (YJS) for a ‘pre-sentence report’. The YJS works with East Sussex County Council teams – Children’s Services and the Reparation Team. They also work with the Police, the probation service, the NHS and the voluntary sector.
