| Purpose and classifications - Intervention - (Value) | The intervention used Multi-Systemic Therapy (MST) which involves an intensive evidence-based therapeutic treatment model that aims to promote positive social behaviours by breaking negative cycles and removing specific problems in the young person’s life. Young people in Essex demonstrating anti-social or offending behaviours were assigned a therapist who worked with them in their home, school, and community, and with family and peers. This therapist was available 24/7 and worked with the young person for an average of 4-5 months to change their social behaviours. |

| Purpose and classifications - (Notes) | Referral Route: Referrals to the Essex SIB can come either directly from Social Workers, Youth Offending Services (YOS), D-BIT or other services. Referrals are reviewed by Essex Children's Social are Quadrant Panels, which have responsibility for allocating resources to meet the needs of the young people referred. As the gatekeepers to the service, the Quadrant Panels provide an independent assessment of which cases are suitable for MST. The MST supervisors have final responsibility for discussing and accepting referrals endorsed by the Quadrant Panels. |
