Why are we funded?
Youth who perpetrate acts of serious violence
are among the most marginalised and
vulnerable in society.
Backgrounds of adversity and abuse.
Do not have equitable access to services equipped to assist
them.
At risk of poor outcomes and harm to
others

The Model
LEVEL ONE – CONSULTATION – IVY meet with involved
professionals to discuss a young person. A SPJ risk assessment
opinion incorporating risk factor ratings, a risk formulation, risk
scenarios and recommendations for risk assessment/management
LEVEL TWO – ASSESSMENT - Builds on the data available at
level 1 but includes direct specialist assessments of mental
health, psychological or offending needs necessary for a more
complete formulation.
LEVEL THREE – TREATMENT – Is offered where treatment needs
are identified and cannot be met by local services. It is a
formulation-led and eclectic approach to intervention.
