Intervention to address sexual harm

Bespoke interventions

We deliver bespoke interventions tailored to the identified areas of risk and need of an individual where harmful sexual behaviour has been identified and/or others who may have been affected by this, such as partners and family members.

Using a strengths-based approach, sessions explore areas such as challenging abuse condoning attitudes/distorted thinking, denial, recognising risk and responding appropriately, improving self-regulation (general and sexual), relating to others, developing appropriate emotionally intimate relationships, enhancing motivation to change and goal setting. This work can also include the development of a Keep Safe Plan.

A bespoke short term intervention can also be used to reinforce/revisit work already completed with ourselves or other organisations and statutory agencies.

Delivery

Interventions are usually delivered over 8 hours (timescale may vary depending on what is required). We can deliver online (offering the service nationally), or in person where feasible.

Once the work is completed, we produce a Response To Intervention Report with recommendations for further work where appropriate. These reports can be used in Child Protection proceedings, Child In Need proceedings and Family Court hearings contributing to safeguarding decisions.

Referrals

We accept referrals from Local Authorities, Family Courts and legal representatives. We do accept self-referrals which must be privately funded.

Our assessments, programmes and interventions can be purchased individually, or we can include them in a contract of support. For more information on any of the services listed please call: 01235 816050 or email hub@circlessoutheast.org.uk
