2. Previous Models & Holistic Spectrum A review of the literature shows that
holistic working is advocated as part of best practice by professionals and
the Home Office (DoH/HO 2006), but that a range of models exist. These are summarised in the spectrum below,
which moves from a focus on the individual on the left to a focus on society
on the right. |

Team, observing and interviewing a range of professionals, young people and
families about holistic work with young people. |

4. Initial Findings So far four interlinked areas have been identified as key considerations when working holistically with young people who have sexually harmed.
These are shown right, with importance placed on good connections and
communication in between these areas.
Each area builds more effective work
targeting the needs of young people and preventing future
abuse. |
