Buckinghamshire Youth Offending Service (YOS)
Buckinghamshire Youth Offending Service (YOS) has been working closely with WrightLink Ltd. for the last five years, delivering training across a range of practice areas.
We had identified a particular issue with high reoffending rates within our “complex” cohort of young people and we wanted to develop practitioner skill and understanding in working with them. This led us to commission ‘Psychological Intervention Skills’ coaching which used a model of case formulation to support working effectively with young people who display offending or anti-social behaviour.
From the first engagement both Andi and Darren very quickly understood both the needs of the service and the staff group they were delivering to, which has led to the delivery of highly effective, tailored provision. All of the training they have delivered has been embedded within YOS practice which is a testament to how powerful this has been and the impact it has had on staff. Wrightlink Ltd. have followed up on training by supporting our service development, including consulting with us on our new case formulation model based on the content of their delivery.
A YOS practitioner fed back that this was, “the most user friendly and informative training I have ever been on. My mind was whirring throughout with cases. Loved the case formulation and really valued the time spent with colleagues to discuss implementation”.
