LETTERS of APOLOGY

Offenders cannot roll back the clock and undo what they have done but they can demonstrate that they understand the damage and hurt they have caused.

A genuine apology is often a first step towards repairing some of that damage and the Youth Offending Team encourages young people to show that they have accepted responsibility for their actions.

All letters of apology are written by the young people themselves. The Youth Offending Team can facilitate the process but we do not tell the young people what to write.

This gallery is a display of real letters written by real offenders to real victims, only the names have been removed, for obvious reasons.
