Designed for 12 – 18 who have been charged for sexual offences as well as for those for who have a history of sexually coercive behaviours. Should be used as part of a comprehensive risk - assessment
All young people referred to YPST, PAT or Rosemount will be assessed by appropriately qualified staff. Assessing their substance misuse and its impact upon subsequent behaviours, many of which will be high-risk behaviours.
When a young person has been identified as potentially being adversely affected by their own substance misuse
When young people have been screened via DUST as in need of full assessment

Completed by Social workers when an offence referral is received by the children’s reporter and a report is requested. Should be re-tested when there are changes in circumstances and/or every 6 months
The tool is to assist in structuring assessment of Violent risk. To be completed by trained staff, at the point where is a significant concern regarding the (violent) behaviour being currently presented or the potential risk of future violent behaviour.
ASSET is, an Aid to the development of practice, aid to case management, aid to developing knowledge, aid to managing resources
Should be used as part of a comprehensive assessment, not in isolation. For adolescents boys 12 – 18. Who have been adjudicated for sexual offences, as well as nonadjudicated youths with a history of sexually coercive behaviour

Completed by Drugs Workers within Youth Strategy Services. Young person would be referred via Area Resource Group forum. Upon completion of screening a decision regarding a need for further assessment would be made.
Completed by Drugs Workers within Youth Strategy Services in collaboration with the caseholder where applicable following the completion of DUST. The young person would have been referred via ARG forum and will be reviewed there if complex need identified.

Should be re-tested when there are changes in circumstances and every 6 months
At the point where there is a concern regarding the presence of violent behaviours or the likelihood of it.
Should be re-tested when there are changes in circumstances and every 12 months
Strongly recommended that the JSOAP be revised every six months. Should be revised more frequently when there are risk relevant changes that have occurred in the young mans life.
Young people’s substance misuse will be assessed as part of other on going comprehensive assessments and re-assessed as appropriate or where there are significant changes to young peoples circumstances.
This would be particularly the case where young people are returning to their community following a period in Jail or secure and for whom there will likely be a significant alteration In their tolerance to substances.
If the screening result shows no need for further assessment then they could be screened upon re-referral. If screened as needing further assessment then no need to review screening.
With drug and alcohol use being a particularly dynamic activity assessment is always ongoing though a formal assessment could be conducted every 12 weeks which could identify patterns or changes.

The YLS / CMI identifies domains which make it more likely that a young person will re-offend. These should then become a target for interventions. It also identifies strength factors, which are naturally there for the young person; these should be enhanced by interventions, as their presence will reduce the risk of re-offending. The YLS / CMI should be re-tested every 6 months or when circumstances change.
The SAVRY identifies domains which increase the likelihood of future violent behaviours. These should then become a target for interventions. It also identifies strength factors, which are naturally there for the young person; these should be enhanced by interventions, as their presence will reduce the risk of re-offending. The SAVRY should be re-tested when circumstances change. It can also be used at any point to assess if there has been change in the level of future violent risk.
The thorough and accurate completion of individual assessments will contribute to the development of the knowledge base. This will feed into strategic planning and decisions about resources allocation and improvements in services for young people
JSOAP is designed to facilitate risk assessment and risk management. It can also be used for informing and guiding treatment and risk management decisions.
That all young people referred to high level services will have an assessment of their substance misuse as standard. Thus informing interventions and care plans.
The thorough and accurate completion of individual assessments will contribute to the development of the knowledge base. This will feed into strategic planning and decisions about resources allocation and improvements in services for young people
The DUST identifies areas of risk which would inform the decision to assess fully. It looks at three domains in identifying risk and strength. The main conclusion to be reached by the tool is regarding the requirement for further intervention.
The assessment will have identified the areas of concern and in turn informed the level and direction of intervention. Strengths and supports will also be identified which should be built upon. Support could be offered by specialist workers directly and/or indirectly via advice/guidance to allocated worker.
