  4. Strengths • Programme integrity • Managing drift • Delivering high numbers, • High quality – delivery, supervision, treatment management

  5. Painted into a corner • The “need” for programmes • Linked to performance targets • Completion linked directly to progression • “what works”? – Nothing else

  6. What would help • Integrated approach e.g. education, employability • Aggregated data to support provision • “beyond the gate”

  7. A potted recent history of SPS case management • 1991 sentence planning – utilised the role of the “personal officer” • 1998 – Sentence Management – objective assessment • 2004 – core + - recognition of short term prisoners • 2005 – ICM – multi agency, case conference format • 2005 – LSCMI and SA07

  8. Better use of Prison staff • Strengths – controlling the prison environment communication with prisoners • Weaknesses – written communication objective assessment

  9. Would Desistance help? • What’s good – optimistic, multi agency, multi modal, has good face validity • To improve – a coherent practice framework, valid evidence base,

  10. How do we get there? • Identify specific costs • Utilise internal markets (or successor) • Incorporate alternative models • Evidence based • Delivery within operational parameters • Completion in the community • Streamline provision and selection

  11. Sex Offender Programmes • 4 different programmes • 4 selection procedures • Little linkage with case management procedures • Little by way of specialised input to Young offenders
