It will share appropriate information with Criminal Justice System partners (police, Judiciary, Crown Prosecution Service, Probation etc) as well as supporting individuals into appropriate health and other services.
Mental Health Treatment Requirements for Men only
The provider will deliver in London MHTR treatment service for men only where the Courts deem it would be appropriate to include a MHTR as part of a Community Sentence. The service would screen men who had been referred by either Probation, Defence or Liaison and Diversion who are potentially suitable for a MHTR. If the individual agrees, this will be shared with Probation who will include the recommendation into the Pre Sentence Report for the Judiciary for them to consider whether a MHTR could be part of any sentencing options. Where a man is given a MHTR as part of a community order the provider would deliver a number of sessions over a specified period, determined by the court and provide psychological treatment/interventions, to address the underlying mental health issues which may be contributing towards the underlying offending issues. The Service will work directly with probation around support which will increase compliance, as well as proactively support the man to comply with the MHTR, and therefore reduce breaches. This service would be available to any man appearing in any of the Magistrates' Courts or Crown Courts in London.
