Results for diversion from the criminal justice system
1 results foundAuthor: Anderson, Sarah Title: Big Diversion Project Current State Analysis of Diversion Services in the North East Region – Final Report Summary: This report forms part of the North East’s Big Diversion Project. It outlines findings from an analysis of current regional provision of ‘diversion’ services for those with mental health problems or learning disabilities. As well as the six Criminal Justice Liaison and Diversion (CJLD) in the region, the research also considered a range of other practice and provision for the identification and support of those with mental health problems or learning disabilities across the criminal justice pathway. Research involved interviews with regional stakeholders and national experts, focus groups, surveys and an analysis of documentary evidence and available data. Regional provision and key issues are mapped across the criminal justice pathway and overarching themes for service development were identified. CJLD services need to extend their coverage geographically, across the pathway and in terms of operational hours. They need to provide a broader response by opening up care pathways into a wider range of services. Courts need increased support and information from CJLD services to inform decision making. Responses to mental health crisis in the community require improvement through improved joint working between police and health agencies. There is poor awareness of service provision and referral pathways among a range of agencies. Data collection and monitoring requires significant improvement to inform service development. Finally, responses to learning disability, autism and related conditions need to be improved across the criminal justice pathway. The research also maps regional provision for service user involvement across a range of services that might be utilised in forthcoming work and a financial analysis of the potential impact of particular service changes is provided.
