People with support needs in the UK are disproportionately represented within the Criminal Justice System.
The objective of this course is to enhance the skills and knowledge of professionals who support people with complex needs who have been convicted of an offence or are deemed to be at risk of conviction.
The course explores issues around risk management including forensic risk management at the interface between support settings and the criminal justice system, where professionals are expected to work within the complex systems and processes which come into play when someone breaks the law.
Within this course there is a close examination of the sophisticated risk assessment tools and, through consultation, and as a bespoke feature of the course, the learners will be supported in applying tools to examples from their own practice.
