Artsmark in
Youth Offending Teams
Introduction
Artsmark provides an open, flexible framework that is adaptable to specialist and alternative settings enabling them to champion arts, culture and creativity, and Youth Offending settings are no exception. Artsmark can help you to develop arts-based offers that are engaging and productive for the young people you work with, either as part of crime prevention programmes or supporting supervision of young people serving a community sentence.
Artsmark can support Youth Offending Teams in developing your provision, enabling the young people you work with to find creative outlets for personal expression, supporting and respecting youth voice and offering creative approaches to represent and articulate young people’s own issues and challenges.
