Report of the Head of Service, Hackney & City Probation.

SS explained that the Reducing Reoffending delivery group were looking into gaining a better understanding of the individuals they were working with. They were considering ways in which they could collaborate with services across, and beyond the City. 

Services in Bishopsgate Police Station were being considered, and the delivery group were looking into ways in which certain offenders could be redirected for support with drugs, alcohol, and other specific needs.

SS said that there were six individuals going through the ‘Divert’ Programme. Work was being done to monitor the impact / outcomes of this programme.

MAPPA processes were a key element for the Reducing Reoffending Group. Professionals meetings were being introduced for level 1 cases. These meetings were set up to tackle serious violence, and its impact within the City.

SS planned to provide an update on out of court disposals at the next SCPSB.

SS said that the delivery group were working on ensuring substance misuse support was carried over to offenders’ home boroughs.

OUTCOME: Update noted.
