The Halt Service • We work with children and Young People aged 5-18 years old who have displayed Harmful Sexual Behaviour. • Part of Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership • Monthly Information Sessions for professionals for those of you that would like further information. 0141 276 1440
What Can Help?A Social Work Perspective • Knowing what the additional needs a child has are: • Level of understanding • Communication style • Preferred support regarding affect regulation • Joint Work with Health, Education, Parents/Carers & Voluntary sector to gain info • The impact of this joining up is that we are able to offer a bespoke assessment to that child/young person: • Communication • Resources tailored to that child • Support
What works well? • The Halt Service has a Forensic Psychologist based with the service • We don’t need to go out with the service for initial screenings or advice (we get information quicker) • He can link us with other people/other resources both regarding individual young people and more generally • Training from others e.g. S.A.L.T • Consultations with others e.g. CAMHS
Working Together Consultations that we provide: • Formulations formed by information from others but also from the children/young people themselves • These will differ depending on the stage of the assessment/intervention with the child/young person.
Working Together Consultations allow for Thinking Space: • A space to reflect • Potential pathways • Intent v’s impact • Risk Management considerations • A space to try to see the world through the child’s lens: about him/her self, the world, adults and sex. • Helping Team Approach to our work with children and young people. • Halt offering an Initial View of both potential future risk and needs in relation to H.S.B
