Abstract
SummaryA significant proportion of individuals in contact with probation services have mental health problems. Joint working between psychiatrists and probation is crucial to both diversion and resettlement of offenders with mental health conditions. In England and Wales, probation services are involved in the supervision and management of offenders if they receive a suspended or community sentence, or when they are released into the community on licence after serving a determinate, extended or life sentence. This article aims to promote awareness of joint working between probation and mental health services and the role of approved premises. It also describes a successful example of such joint working at Elliott House, approved premises for mentally disordered offenders in Birmingham, UK.
