Forensic services.
Supported living for people with a forensic history — where the support has to hold real structure and real risk, without reducing someone to their record.
Structure and independence, at the same time.
People moving on from secure services, hospital or prison often need a level of structure that ordinary supported living isn't built for — and a staff team that understands why.
We design these packages jointly with the professionals already involved: probation, community forensic teams, social workers, psychologists and, where relevant, MAPPA arrangements. Risk-management plans are written into the support plan rather than bolted on beside it, and staff are trained specifically on the plan for the person they support.
The aim is never containment. It is a genuine life — work, relationships, routine, community — with the structure that makes it sustainable.
What a forensic package includes.
Every package is different, but these three things are always in it.
Joint planning
Built with the professionals involved.
Support plans are written alongside probation, forensic and clinical teams so that everyone is working to the same plan, not three different ones.
Trained teams
Staff matched to the person.
We recruit or redeploy staff with the right experience and give them training specific to the individual — including positive behaviour support where it is needed.
Clear boundaries
Structure people can rely on.
Consistent routines, clear expectations and accurate recording — so that progress can be evidenced and risk is managed openly.
Placing someone with a forensic history?
Talk to us early. We would rather have an honest conversation about fit than take a referral that was never going to work.
