The Children and Young People’s Centre for Justice (CYCJ) will be hosting START:AV training on 13th-14th February 2023 at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. This training is funded specifically for professionals working in the youth justice field in Scotland who conduct assessments in relation to high-risk behaviours displayed by, or experienced by, children and young people.The Short Term Assessment of Risk and Treatability: Adolescent Version (START:AV) was developed to guide the individualised assessment of vulnerabilities and strengths that can lead to, and mitigate against, the risk of adverse outcomes occurring, including harm to others and rule violations and harm to the adolescent. The aim of the tool is to guide evidence-based intervention planning to reduce the risk of harm occurring and promote healthy development.
