Intensive Systemic Therapy Around the Child (ISTAC) for Harmful Sexual Behaviour (HSB), is an intensive, community-based treatment programme, developed in accordance with NICE guidelines, to assess and treat the multiple causal and contributing factors that lead to harmful sexual behaviour in children and young people. Adapted from the original ISTAC model, ISTAC HSB is a cost-effective, evidence-based alternative to out-of-home placements and/or treatment (in foster care, specialist residential provisions, and secure accommodation).
