NIACRO believes child offending can be reduced through diverting children and young people to services which help them to make positive changes in their lives. Our services are open to young people in different areas of Northern Ireland, of different age groups and with different needs. NIACRO aims to move children and young people out of the criminal justice system, or better still help them not get into it in the first place. Our current projects are described below:
| Child and Parent Support (Caps) | Choose 2 Change (C2C) |
 |  |
| The Child and Parent Support programme provides intensive support services to families whose children (aged 8 to 13) are at risk of taking part in anti-social/offending behaviour. | The Choose 2 Change programme supports young people aged between 15 and 18 years old, who are involved with the youth justice system, to undertake education, training or employment. |
