Drug Interventions Programme (DIP)

UK Drug Workers Annual National Conference 2009
York
13th and 14th October 2009
Workshop Integrated Offender Management
2
The ground I will cover

• Impact of PPO on crime and re-offending.

• Implementing Integrated Offender Management.

3
Firstly, the impact of PPO

• Sources

- National PPO evaluation report
- National Indicator 30 data.
4
How PPO and DIP are evolving
(i) Review of DIP delivery model
To improve the ability of DIP to drive down
drug-related crime.
(ii) PPO programme refresh
To maximum the impact of local schemes on
reducing crime and re-offending.
5
PPO Refresh
Why refresh and why now?

• The programme is 5 years on.

• Economic downturn brings new
• challenges.

• Crime strategy refreshed.

• New performance data.

• CJ Inspectors thematic report
• (16 July) and

• Integrated Offender Management.

6
Does it work .
Yes!
When Catch Convict is joined with
Rehabilitate Resettle
Before the launch of the PPO programme PPOs were
increasingly Caught Convicted

PPO Refresh what is being asked?
Partnerships are encouraged to assess of their
PPO scheme to
ensure that it is tackling the most prolific and
damaging offenders
ensure that it is tackling the right number of
offenders
ensure that it has an appropriate balance between
PPOs in the community and in custody.
14
PPO Refresh the right offenders?
Partnerships are also encouraged to update
selection/de-selection arrangements
to ensure that the intensive PPO approach is
provided for those who need it
while they need it
with compliant offenders moved on to a less
intensive management regime.
15
PPO Refresh the right offenders?
Review the current PPO list against other known
offenders (including those about to be released
from prison) to ensure the scheme is targeting
the most active and damaging offenders
A similar review to be conducted in advance of
agreeing the 2010/11 National Indicator/Local
Area Agreement cohort (April 2010)
Then carry out a similar review at least
quarterly.
16
PPO Refresh numbers
Ensure that the scheme is tackling the right
number of offenders
The original guidance suggested 15 to 20 PPOs in
smaller areas 60 to 100 in larger areas.
17
PPO Refresh the community/custody balance
Ensure that the scheme has achieved the right
community/ custody balance
the original guidance suggested that the majority
of PPOs should be in the community, or to be
released imminently from custody
but currently 33 of all PPOs are in prison

• 82 of these (or 27 of all PPOs) sentenced
• to over 12 months.

18
PPO Refresh recommended approach
Refresh guidance updates existing selection and
de-selection guidance.
This may create capacity issues
schemes to give priority to most prolific and
damaging offenders
in particular non stat offenders being released
from custody, who are at high risk of
re-offending.

Moving on Integrated Offender Management
20
The case for IOM
Integrated Offender Management
IOM provides the context for taking forward these
recommendations
. by asking do all relevant activities and
programmes, at the local, regional and national
levels
- join together as coherently as they might
- share priorities, a common vision and
approach

• deliver the best response to crime and re-
• offending that they can.

- maximise positive outcomes for the community?
21
IOM the Governments ambition - outcomes
In every locality, the most damaging offenders
identified and targeted
They receive appropriate intensity of
intervention to disrupt criminal lifestyles and
support rehabilitation
More dynamic use of available programmes
Potential overlaps or gaps addressed
With greater clarity around roles and
responsibilities.
22
IOM an umbrella for multi-agency responses
Local delivery, strategic fit
Everyone is in scope intensity of management
relating to severity of risk, irrespective of
position within CJS or whether statutory/non-statu
tory offender
- Most dangerous managed under MAPPA

• Most damaging receive most intensive (PPO)
• management, but only while risk remains
  critical

• Offenders who respond to be downgraded to lower
  
• tier of intensity (reserving PPO places for
  the most prolific).

23
IOM - where are we now?
Six centrally supported pioneer areas testing
different IOM models and all being evaluated.
The six pioneer areas have to date included in
their cohorts

• PPOs (52)
• DIP clients
• Unsupervised offenders (33)
• NOMS Statutory cases (27)
• DV offenders (Lancs pilot)
• Youth (Avon Somerset, Lancs, West Yorks, West
  Mids)

Many other areas adopting IOM or showing interest.
24
IOM priority target groups
Statutory offenders who may require additional
support to hold them in compliance
Non-statutory under 12 month offenders
PPOs
Drug misusing offenders

• DIP review identifies IOM as potentially
  offering
• the local organisational infrastructure for
• sustaining DIP in the long-term.

25
IOM the strategic push (1)

• A clear message on the Governments vision
  emphasising

• Joined up action police, probation, local
  authorities
• etc tackling offenders together.
• IOM is the strategic umbrella to draw together
  other
• programmes and approaches more consistently.
• Offenders facing their responsibility or facing
  the
• consequences.
• Making better use of existing (and proven)
• programmes squeezing more benefits from them
  for
• communities.
• Its Justice Seen, Justice Done.

26
IOM the strategic push (2)

• Increase in numbers being managed the IOM
  caseloads
• in 6 pioneer areas set to increase from 2000
  to over 3000
• by March 2010.
• Interim evaluation of IOM by November 2009.
• Operation Vigilance, tackling serious
  acquisitive crime in
• targeted areas will encourage IOM style
  working.
• Refreshed PPO guidance.
• Improving the Premium Service, taking account
  of the
• thematic inspection.

27
IOM an umbrella for applying multi-agency
responses
Offenders in the community Local partners
coming together to tackle offending in their
communities should map existing offender
supervision and identify the gaps in their local
approach

probation as part of a community based sentence

young people who receive custodial sentences
