Title: Stocktake of Women's Services for Offenders in the Community

Summary: - In April 2013, the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) provided an additional L3.78 million to Probation Trusts in England & Wales, specifically to enable them to enhance the provision of services they commission or deliver to promote the rehabilitation of female offenders. To assess the impact of this extra investment, we conducted a stocktake of services in the community for female offenders, and this is our report. - NOMS is an executive agency of the Ministry of Justice (MoJ). The main objectives of the agency are to protect the public and reduce reoffending. Where offenders are given a community sentence by the courts, or released from custody on licence, these objectives are at present taken forward by the 35 Probation Trusts in England and Wales, which are responsible for the delivery of services at local level. - Probation Trusts deliver offender services in partnership with a wide range of public, private and third sector providers. They also commission services - sometimes jointly with partners - from other providers. NOMS has a contract with each Probation Trust. It is through contract management arrangements that NOMS ensures that the intentions and plans put forward by Probation Trusts during commissioning rounds are translated into the practical delivery of services in local communities. - In future, these offender services in the community will be delivered by the Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) and (for higher-risk offenders) by the new National Probation Service. This stocktake describes how services for female offenders are delivered at present - and new providers will clearly be very interested in the practice it describes. More specifically, the report examines the impact of the additional L3.78 million provided this year. The aim of this extra investment was to enable Trusts to access additional services for women under their local commissioning arrangements, taking into account the requirement to ensure that services contribute to the overall objectives of the National Offender Management Service. - The extra funding does not represent the total spent by Probation Trusts on services for female offenders: Trusts routinely provide these services through their mainstream delivery. While our main aim in this report has been to identify the new initiatives and services funded from the additional provision, we also briefly highlight the way in which Probation Trusts have used their core funding to strengthen and improve services for female offenders. And wherever possible, we have identified resources contributed by other parties - though this is not always easy to do precisely.
