N2  - This article describes an assessment protocol for children and young people with sexually offensive behaviour. It is recommended as a starting point only as it is not a full psychological assessment. The assessment process focuses on assessing the immediate degree of risk to the victim, which may involve recommendations for placement or supervision; assessing the risk of further sexually offensive behaviour, and the mechanisms for reducing the risk or stopping the behaviour; and identifying any sources that may be contributing to the sexually offensive behaviour that may require action. The author recommends that youth justice procedures and community interventions should be incorporated into the intervention where possible
