Although it is known that they form a small, but significant group, there are difficulties in gaining a clear indication of incidence since much of the existing research has involved small and heterogeneous samples, many of which were not UK-based and lack of control groups for comparison. Furthermore, many incidents of sexual abuse are likely to go unreported. The nature, extent and significant negative consequences of harmful sexual behaviour for the victims and perpetrators, make this an important issue for policy development and research investigation. Overall, research and knowledge in this important area are still accumulating and much remains to be confirmed. Although recent decades have seen a movement towards greater understanding of the issue of harmful sex behaviour, a gap remains. The purpose of the project was to help address this gap in knowledge. The aim of the project was to gain an understanding of contemporary service provision for young people displaying harmful sexual behaviour in a UK context. The specific objectives were to: • Build a profile of the scope and nature of current service provision in the UK for young people displaying harmful sexual behaviour, focusing on: • profile of service users and changes over time; • referral sources, assessment, intervention, case management; • staff training and support. • Investigate the part that local and national guidance and procedures play in supporting service provision for young people displaying harmful sexual behaviour in relation to assessment, intervention, case management and staff training/support. • Identify the key principles that underpin good practice in relation to service provision for young people displaying harmful sexual behaviour. • Make recommendations for practice, policy and service provision in relation to young people displaying sexually harmful behaviour.
