Our Work in Court

We continue to train magistrates across our regions, actively encouraging positive sentencing that focuses on rehabilitation where levels of risk and the gravity of the offences allow. Thanks to the work we've done with magistrates, we've seen a staggering 45% increase in the number of referrals made to us for substance focused treatment requirements; allowing us to support more people through rehabilitation.

Mental Health Treatment Requirements

This increase is on top of the success of our Mental Health Treatment Requirement (MHTR) pilot (Dyfodol and FPC), which supports individuals struggling with their mental health and tackles a common cause of crime.
