Specialist Service Provision
The service offers an integrated biopsychosocial and case formulation approach to Assessment, Consultancy, Training and Intervention (safety planning) with a contemporary approach to working with the whole child, person and family. The service applies a context of risk by considering the situational, relational, and environmental conditions that increase or decrease the likelihood of harmful behaviour occurring, identifying when, where, how, and against whom risk is most probable to manifest. The assessment and intervention considers attachment style with a developmental lens to evaluate risk of harm underpinned by forensic analysis, case formulation with the use of validated tools, methods and models to inform a meaningful evidence-based practice toward working with children, adolescents and adults, their parents/caregivers, families and professionals - representing a significant shift away from both manualised and strictly harm/risk reduction or containment models of change and rehabilitation. Case formulation trauma & attachment-Informed work places an emphasis on how historical (distal) factors influence the child or persons capacity to attach and authenticate self the others in the present (proximal). The assessment and interventions consider the child or persons connections and relationships by exploring the importance of early figures in their lives. Prominence is placed on how early relationships set the template for and influence the development of pro-social interactions, relationships, and behaviours throughout life, including the development and maintenance of harmful behaviours towards others. In a trauma & attachment-focussed model, assessment and intervention is not simply about psycho-educational and cognitive-behavioural modes of engagement and communication. It is also, and perhaps more critically, reflective of the way we think about and understand childhood adversity, sexual and physical harm and specifically child, adolescent and adult violent and sexual offending . Further importance is placed on the way we interact with and relate to children, young people and adults and their parents/caregivers/families, and the way in which we come to discover and understand the needs of children, young people and adults presenting with adverse responses in assessment, intervention and rehabilitation (Rich, 2010, Calder, 2011, Hart et al., 2022).
