Young Londoners Harmful Sexual Behaviours (HSB)
Our team of Expert Harmful Sexual Behaviours (HSB) Caseworkers specialise in providing trauma-informed and preventative support to young Londoners who displaying lower to medium levels of HSB.
Young Londoners who display Harmful Sexual Behaviours are often labelled as perpetrators. This labelling only serves to set them back, rather than help them move forward. Often the young Londoners we work with may not have a full understanding of their actions or where their behaviours may stem from, or that they themselves need support.
For up to 12 months young Londoners will work with a an AIM3 trained Expert Harmful Sexual Behaviours Caseworker, receiving one to one specialist support to help the young Londoners understand the importance of healthy relationships and what can be done to keep themselves and others safe.
We're currently unable to accept new referrals into this service.

Frequently asked questions
What does the support look like?
The Expert HSB Caseworker works with young Londoners, providing specialist one to one support that has been tailored to meet the needs of the child or young person. Sessions are delivered in a place that is safe for the young Londoner, whether this by at home, school or elsewhere in the community.
Interventions can last anywhere between 3 to 12 months dependent on the young Londoner’s needs. The length of the intervention is decided on a case-by-case basis and is reviewed regularly throughout the intervention.
