If you have a concern about a young person and inappropriate sexual behaviour (ISB) or harmful sexual behaviour (HSB), you should refer them to the Youth Inclusion Support Project (YISP). Please complete the relevant pages of the YISP referral form that relate to your concern in as much detail as possible and include the young person's opinions.
All young people who meet the criteria for ISB or HSB are prioritised for assessment. Once the young person has been assessed, a decision will be made on the most appropriate intervention.
If the concerns are significant enough, a harmful sexual behaviour (HSB) intervention will be offered. If appropriate, an Assessment, Intervention, Moving-on (AIM) may be completed. Lower level or inappropriate sexual behaviour is managed through a YISP. All YOS workers supporting ISB and HSB have specific training in this area of work. All work is completed with young people on a voluntary engagement basis.
