Case
Assessment
These courses are usually provided within the Criminal Justice
and Mental Health Fields. They are 2-3 day events offering participants
the opportunity to develop their skills in offence or behavioural
analysis employing a Cognitive Behavioural framework. During these
events staffs are introduced to specific tools to undertake case
assessment and examine, in particular, the cognitions and behavioural
patterns behind problematic behaviours. Participants are then introduced
to a range of interventions that might enable individual learning
needs to be targeted so that more effective behaviours can be developed
in a manner that is motivational to the individual concerned. Staff
are encouraged to practise these approaches as far as possible
during the programme and to design an intervention for working
with a current client which will be put into their action plan
and optionally reviewed after the course in a one day follow up.
