Proposed project with
■Over representation of people with learning disabilities in system that are disadvantaged and made vulnerable with strong evidence of lack of reasonable adjustments.
■Strong evidence base and recommendations for change to support this group of offenders to achieve improved outcomes for life
■Bradley Report - outlines recommendations at various points along the pathway
■This group of offenders can draw on a significant proportion of local learning disability health and social care budgets
■There has been some change over the past two years – introduction of screening tools
■Not clear what then needs once someone has been identified as having a learning disability
■Lack of options in the context of a clear liaison and diversion pathway which can lead to inefficient use of resources
■Potential of improved partnership and joined up working across health and social care services
Rationale for proposed project
Maintain the momentum gained to date and to engage London prisons;
To encourage a consistent, outcomes focused approach to be adopted across London;
To provide information on service developments and emerging good practice, to up-skill stakeholders for managing and developing further provision and a range of options;
To ensure that links are made with local community teams, local services and supports;
To support the development of more effective pathways by enabling better informed staff at the appropriate and crucial times within the criminal justice system.
Contribute to supporting reducing reoffending and increasing levels of independence, choice and control.
