A systematic scoping review of measures of the quality of health and social care for adults in the criminal justice system: Learning for the probation service
We conducted a systematic scoping review to identify quality indicators, guidelines or standards measuring the quality of health or social care for adult criminal justice populations that were relevant to probation practice. Seventeen papers were included, and measures were categorised by how they were developed, which national probation service health and social care strategy objectives they relate to, type of measures, and what is measured. We …
Testing and refining an approach to identifying health and social care needs in probation
We piloted an approach to identifying the health and social care needs of people on probation using a survey consisting of validated screening tools and key additional questions. We share findings from our analysis of the sample data, showing that there is a high complexity of needs in this population, with 65.4% of participants reporting at least one unmet need. We also explore the acceptability of this approach to identifying needs being used i…
Improving healthcare in adult probation services: Learning from Youth Offending Teams
This article reviews the development of the healthcare provision in youth offending teams (YOTs), and the implications of this for improving provision for adults supervised by probation. The Crime and Disorder Act (1998) made healthcare funding a statutory requirement in YOTs, and healthcare presence in most YOTs was significantly boosted by the collaborative commissioning initiative. There is no parallel commissioning initiative in adult probati…
Suicide in probation: Towards the ideation-to-action model
Suicide in probation services is far higher than the general population. This paper presents secondary analysis of data previously used to evaluate the outcome of delivering psychological treatment to probationers in London. A sample of probation service users who screened positive for clinically significant symptoms of distress and were subsequently assessed and offered treatment ( n = 274) were allocated retrospectively to one of three groups: …
NHS commissioning in probation in England - Still on a wing and a prayer
Policy reforms in England and Wales mean that all individuals released from prison will have some contact with probation services, either serving a community sentence, or being on licence post-release. Despite often having complex health needs, including a higher prevalence of mental health problems, substance misuse problems and physical health problems than the general population, this socially excluded group of people often do not access healt…
NHS commissioning in probation in England - on a wing and a prayer
National guidance in England exhorts Clinical Commissioning Groups [groups of general practices established to organise delivery of National Health Service (NHS) care in their local area (CCGs)] to commission healthcare for those living in the community who are serving non-custodial sentences called 'community orders'. This includes 'approved premises' - accommodation providing enhanced supervision for offenders and individuals on bail who may pr…
Trends in self‐inflicted deaths in prisons in England and Wales (2001‐2008): Towards targeted interventions
Rates for self-inflicted deaths (SIDs) were analysed in English and Welsh prisons. Whilst the overall reductions in SIDs are to be welcomed, the data demonstrate that there is variation in progress with SIDs reduction across the different types of prison. SIDs is increasing in High Security prisons and these findings have implications for both research and commissioning. Those that commission prison mental health services in Primary Care Trusts m…
Engagement with drug treatment and testing orders: A qualitative study
Aims. To examine the experiences of offenders in engaging with Drug Treatment and Testing Orders (DTTOs). To identify the processes common to successful engagement and how those processes differ in unsuccessful engagement. Design. Grounded theory method utilising data from semi-structured interviews with DTTO participants. Participants. Fifteen informants at varied stages of DTTO participation across South Yorkshire, England. Findings. Engagement…
Public attitudes towards mental health facilities in the community
Taking account of community attitudes towards mental health problems may be crucial to the success of community care. Exceeding the limits of the community's tolerance could lead to the policy ‘backfiring’ ‐ jeopardizing the future of community care and increasing rather than decreasing the stigma attached to mental health problems (Hall et al. 1991, p. 302). There is evidence that local opposition to community facilities has escalated over the p…
A New Role for the Community Psychiatric Nurse in Working with Families Caring for a Relative with Schizophrenia
Over the last 20 years research has convincingly demonstrated that the illness, schizophrenia, is amenable to social and environmental influence (Leff et at. 1982; Falloon et al. 1985; Hogarty et al. 1986). The impetus for the research is the fact that, at best, genetic inheritance explains only 70% of the disorder's aetiology. The findings of the studies allow certain basic but important principles to be for mulated. These are that some people i…
