Take Part: Youth Offending Organisations
A chance to lead and succeed
KEY+ is a structured, strengths-based challenge that supports youth justice goals and gives young people something to be proud of.
Proven to work with those in – or at risk of entering – the justice system, the KEY+ Challenge helps young people reconnect, take part in positive activities, and build the skills and confidence that they need for their next steps.
Why KEY+ Works for Youth Offending Teams
KEY+ supports young people to take the lead - giving them real decisions, real accountability, and a sense of ownership that helps drive long-term change.
KEY+ supports rehabilitation through:
- Positive risk-taking
- Increased self-determination
- Real accountability (pitch panels, public projects)
- A non-judgemental, engaging process they own
Impact on Young People
- Improved behaviour and emotional regulation
- Greater self-awareness and future focus
- Reduced reoffending through meaningful engagement
- Peer collaboration and pride in positive outcomes
