The Rehabilitate and Resettle strand focuses on those PPOs who are already in custody or serving setences in the community.
CDRPs work with the same partner agencies including Police, Probation, Prisons and Criminal Justice Interventions' Team (CJIT) to ensure that actions are in place in order to prioritise PPOs and that, through a single offender manager, they are case-managed at all stages of their sentence.
Under this strand each PPO aged 18 and over, who is subject to a community or custodial sentence, will receive an assessment. This will identify the likelihood of re-offending, their risk of serious harm, the needs relating to their offending and the interventions required to rehbilitate them. Individual case management, along with appropriate interventions, will ensure PPOs are offered the maximum support to come non-offending and productive members of society.
Our Role
The Government Office for the South East Community Safety Team supports and advises South East regional crime and drugs partnerships and their partner agencies in the development and implementation of the Rehabilitate and Resettle strand of the PPO Strategy. We ensure appropriate governance arrangements are in place and the refinement of scheme performance for the identification and sharing of best practice.
Re-offending Action Plans
In parallel, Regional Offender Managers (ROMs) have developed and implemented regional reducing re-offending actions plans, based on the regional profiles and needs of offenders. These plans focus on resettlement pathways that are critical to reducing the risk of re-offeding, namely:
- Education
- Training
- Employment
- Accommodation
- Mental and physical health
- Benefit and debt advice
- Drugs and alcohol treatment
- Families and children's services
- Attitudes and self control
Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships (CDRPs) and their partner agencies develop their own local rehabilitation action plans to support the needs of PPOs in their areas.
