Integrated Offender Management: Annual Report 2017-18

INTRODUCTION This report explains Integrated Offender Management (IOM) and how our partnership approach to managing offenders helps keep people safe across Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth and Southampton.

This is a public report which seeks to: •• Explain how we work together to manage offenders to keep communities safer •• Illustrate the many complex needs and vulnerabilities which contribute to offending and how with the right support, people can change and positively contribute to society •• Reassure the public that those offenders who choose to offend despite being offered support are pro-actively targeted to help keep the public safe •• Highlight the IOM service to other public services and the third sector with the aim of strengthening referral pathways and taking a whole system approach to reducing crime •• Demonstrate to commissioners the effectiveness of the IOM service in reducing reoffending to inform future commissioning decisions •• Celebrate the success of Integrated Offender Management in 2017/2018 and look to the future, continually reviewing and improving the service
