The AIM Checklists
The AIM Checklists provide a framework to inform and support professional decision making, as not all behaviours which have a sexual component will need a referral to another agency or an AIM3 or AIM Under 12s assessment. There are four AIM Checklists to reflect different levels of development due to age or ability.

With kind permission from the author, The AIM Checklists incorporate Simon Hackett’s Sexual Behaviour Continuum (2010), with columns headed Normal, Inappropriate, Problematic and Abusive/Violent. All four AIM Checklists are based on research and practice with 8 key questions providing a contextual overview of the sexual behaviour to give a balanced perspective.
