14. CRIMINAL JUSTICE LIAISON & DIVERSION
WHY CHANGE ?
CRIMINAL JUSTICE LIAISON & DIVERSION
SAFETY
Identification and assessment STARTING AT Police Custody will improve risk management all the way through the system
ACCESS
Doing the right assessments on the right people at the right time will deliver the right disposals and enable access to the right services
EFFICIENCY eg. we could have….
London wide agreement on efficient use of places of safety
Police Station services that deliver health outcomes
Diversion from CJS at an earlier stage, where this is appropriate
Fewer psychiatric reports to court, but on the right people
Fewer escorts from prison for treatment
More timely prison transfers, at lower cost
Fewer prison recalls as a result of treatment unavailability
Reduced re-offending and reduced crime
Fewer deaths in custody
