What’s the plan?

What do we already know?

And how?

The usual suspects?

Finding common language “It’s not NHS, CPS, Police or Council money… it’s all public money Dorset’s PCC Martyn Underhill was asked why he was not investing in a project with similar characteristics of the ‘scared straight’ programme.  His team reviewed the option and used the What Works toolkit, which confirmed their view on the evidence- base of this project, which is known in cases to not evidence positive outcomes and in some cases to cause negative outcomes for the young participants. Mr Underhill’s team is also working with a local authority partner to explore a social investment that can be used to invest in evidence-based interventions such as multi-systemic therapy.  This investment will offer support earlier to families living in Dorset who experience a combination of mental health, alcohol and domestic abuse.  We are interested in exploring social investment to test this type of intervention with payment-by- results to see what impact it may have on reducing future demand across policing, social care and health services and we will measure non-cashable outcomes along with cashable and efficiency savings in the short to medium term (over five years).  Considerations shared by the What Works toolkit will be used to support service design and delivery commissioned through this programme.  Mr Underhill has also funded multi-agency pilot work in Dorset to support families recognised by the what works centre shared through the Early Intervention Foundation. The general approach to commissioning and fundraising is now being informed by the what works toolkit. ‘Domestic abuse’ ‘Reducing offending’ ‘County lines’ ‘What’s wrong with you?’ ‘Interparental conflict’ ‘Improving life changes’ ‘Exploitation of children’ ‘What happened to you?’
