Specialist placement For my final placement, I was based in a team working with young people displaying harmful sexual behaviour towards others. In this placement, I conducted comprehensive risk assessments, which required gathering information from multiple sources including the young person, their family, school and other members of their network. The placement involved much liaison and consultation with the multiagency network, advising on safeguarding and supervision plans and sharing evidence-based formulations. Intervention work with young people involved an integration of CBT, attachment-focused and systemic techniques. I contributed to service development in this role by collating service data to feed back to commissioners and by supervising the assistant psychologist in reviewing and collating the outcome data in the team. This placement greatly enhanced my risk assessment skills and my confidence in sharing and managing safeguarding concerns effectively.
