BOOK TODAY and save on your place.

Overview

With the Ministry of Justice tasked with delivering overall resource savings of 23% by 2014/15, the new financial year will be saturated with stringent measures to ensure resources are invested wisely, and efficiency is made where possible.

Government plans including the use of tough community sentences; restorative approaches; resolving disputes out of court; early intervention proposals; and paying providers by results for delivering reductions in reoffending builds on and expands upon existing offender programmes involved in tackling crimes of concern to communities. Preparation and awareness is essential to be able to deliver the Coalition’s rehabilitation revolution of bringing together agencies to prioritise interventions with offenders who cause crime in their locality, and to ensure the outcomes and efficiencies needed.

"Payment-by-results" pilot project aimed at cutting reoffending, launched in September 2010 is one of the current areas of key interest. Investors have put £5m in social impact bonds to fund rehabilitation work with 3,000 Peterborough Prison inmates. Hear about this case study and other national and regional examples of spending resources for offenders and ex-offenders efficiently and effectively in partnership, using restorative approaches, working with the private sector and more at this forum.

Agenda

With an aim to deliver better value for money from the justice system, learning from the nation’s best practices is essential.

Understand how to translate the Coalition Government’s vision into practice at this forum and consider how best you can continue to deliver services to meet targets and outcomes with the realist understanding of available resource to ensure successful offender care and management during and post release.
