The Youth Diversion Programme is provided for in the Childrens Act 2001. The Youth Diversion Programme is supported by a network of Youth Diversion Projects (YDPs).
YDPs are community-based multi-agency crime prevention initiatives, which seek to divert young people who have become involved in crime/anti-social behaviour and to support wider preventative work within the community and with families at risk.
