County Durham Youth Engagement
Service (CDYES) is the new name for
the County Durham Youth Offending
Service. The name change was made
to more accurately reflect the true
nature of the work in engaging
young people, parents, carers,
victims, communities and other
agencies to keep young people out
of trouble. CDYES engage young
people in a wide range of
programmes designed to prevent
offending and re-offending through
education, art, music, drama, sport,
community action and
organised activity.
DAAC manager Bob Glass is a member of the
Development and Implementation Group of CD
YES, and assists and advises in the targeting of
schemes and resources to help young people in
the County. Many young people from the County
have been involved in DAAC schemes (eg Get
Hooked on Fishing, Get Gripped on Climbing,
Look at Life, Shrievalty awards, Wise Drive) with
the support of the Youth Engagement Service.
Bob also sits on the County Wide Partnership for
the Co-ordination of Social Inclusion
Programmes (COSIP) and works closely with
Positive Activities for Young People.
A recent joint inspection of the CD YES by HMI
Probation and incorporating the Audit
Commission, HM Inspectorate of Constabulary,
Office for Standards in Education, Health Care
Commission, Commission for Social Care
Inspection, HM Inspectorate of Prisons and HM
Inspectorate of probation was particularly
complimentary about the prevention work done
by CD YES in partnership with other agencies.
