“…In the absence of a validated risk assessment tool for firesetting, several frameworks have been developed to guide the collection of clinical information to inform firesetting risk assessment and treatment planning: Pathological Firesetters Interview (Taylor, Thorne, & Slavkin, 2005), St Andrew's Fire and Arson Risk Instrument (SAFARI; Long et al, 2014), and the Northgate Firesetter Risk Assessment (Taylor & Thorne, 2005). These frameworks aim to provide clinicians with a helpful guide to factors associated with firesetting to identify relevant risk and treatment needs.…”

“…However, the NFRA has not been published or empirically evaluated. The St Andrew's Fire and Arson Risk Instrument (SAFARI; Long et al, 2014) is a semi‐structured interview examining the antecedents, behaviour, and consequences of firesetting as well as readiness to change, firesetting self‐efficacy, perceived probability of future firesetting, barriers to change, and understanding of firesetting behaviours. The Fire Interest Rating Scale (FIRS; Murphy & Clare, 1996) was developed for use with adults with intellectual disabilities.…”

Background Treatment for adults who set fires relies upon valid and reliable assessment. Research is needed to ensure self‐report measures are available for adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities and that they are robust. Method Qualitative and quantitative data from three rounds of a Delphi exercise with practitioners and a focus group discussion with adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities were used to generate consensus about the accessibility of item adaptations made to the Fire Interest Rating Scale, Fire Attitudes Scale, and the Identification with Fire Questionnaire. Results Findings suggested the accessibility of current measures could be improved to better meet the needs of adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities and adaptations to all questionnaire items were needed. Conclusion Following feedback, revisions to current measures were implemented leading to the development of the Adapted Firesetting Assessment Scale with improved accessibility for adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities.

“…However the continued lack of clear and concise treatment guidelines allow for more individualised treatment pathways which require more knowledge about what factors contribute to fire-setting behaviours (Long et al, 2014) and indeed, such multi-faceted interventions have been recommended by some researchers (e.g. Tranah and Nicholas, 2013).…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present the development and evaluation of an original training package for staff members on fire-setting in people with intellectual disabilities. It also included training on functional analysis as a model of formulating the fire-setting behaviour. The quality and effectiveness of the training was assessed and is reported in this paper. Design/methodology/approach – The training was delivered on a ward for people with intellectual disabilities in a UK NHS Trust Low Secure Hospital and was attended by various members of the multidisciplinary team for the ward. The workshop consisted of four modules: theoretical background of fire-setting, the functional analysis model of fire-setting formulation, offence-paralleling behaviours in secure settings and a case study practice. Level of self-reported understanding of the various aspects of the training was measured by an evaluation questionnaire completed pre and post training. Findings – The results of this study showed that following the training there was a significant increase in self-reported understanding of staff members. The participants reported an increase in understanding of fire-setting, functional analysis and formulation of individuals with an intellectual disability and history of fire-setting. Originality/value – This study highlights the potential for staff training to increase awareness of fire-setting behaviours by people with intellectual disabilities. The staff training in formulation would encourage their involvement in development of team formulations and may subsequently increase their understanding of such individuals.
