TYS Practitioners information

Information you might need

If you are working with or know of a young person who would benefit from any of our courses or services please complete and send in the request for service form to the e-mail at the top of the first page.

In order to give young people the best service we would ask that you complete the form with the young person and they consent to the information coming to us. If you do not hold parental responsibility for the young person, please inform the parents/carers of the young person.

The request for service form is designed to give us as much information as possible on the young people and therefore provide the best service for that individual. If the young person already has a professional assessment (e.g. CAF or Asset) please complete the first two pages and send to us with the assessment on the e-mail address at the top of the form.

If the young person does not have an assessment please fully complete the form and the assessment wheel and send in on the e-mail address at the top of the page. Please be advised that all information provided will be shared and discussed with the young person so that we can make sure that our provision is right for them.

The Assessment Wheel

The assessment wheel has twelve different segments that require completing. These areas have been specifically chosen to give us a full overview of the young persons situation and will give us an early indication of the best service to offer them.

Each section has supporting guidance notes to aid you in your assessment and for you to provide any supporting information. We will on meeting the young person go over this with them, so that they are clear on the areas we will be concentrating on.

The assessment wheel is based on a scoring system and the guidance gives some indication of what this means, if you are unclear or want to talk through the assessment please telephone the numbers below.

When completing the scoring this will automatically populate the assessment wheel. If we feel that we do not have sufficient information on the form to deliver a good service to the young person, we may come back to you for further information. On the basis of the information supplied and our work with the young person we may work with other agencies to deliver the best service.

As we develop our work we will revisit the assessment at review points to show the progress made with the young person against agreed objectives. Once our work with the young person has been completed the exit review and assessment will be shared with you so that you are informed and involved with the outcome.
