Top Exam Board Tips
- When writing case studies, always align your responses with the National Standards for Youth Justice and the Code of Practice for victims.
- In reflective accounts, use specific examples of engagement techniques, such as motivational interviewing or restorative approaches, to demonstrate competency.
- Ensure that assessment evidence includes input from at least two different agencies to evidence integrated working.
- For portfolio tasks, structure your written work using the 'Understanding the child - Assessment - Intervention - Review' cycle to showcase systematic practice.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Confusing the roles of different youth justice agencies (e.g., YOT, YJB, secure estate) or overlooking the distinct functions of each.
- Failing to differentiate between static and dynamic risk factors when completing assessments, leading to imprecise intervention plans.
- Neglecting the voice of the young person in casework, resulting in adult-centric rather than child-first practice.
- Over-reliance on custodial outcomes as a measure of success rather than focusing on desistance and welfare outcomes.
