Forensic Team part of Walsall Disability Services

In 1997 a Team of Nurses/Social Workers were in an institution. We escaped to the Learning Disability Community Team. Our role is to support ‘offenders’ throughout Walsall.

An offender is someone who has broken the law or who we think is very likely to break the law. We support them and help them to improve their behaviour. We encourage them to be dependable and honest.

Community Support After people have been sentenced Section 117 For people with a Conditional Discharge For people who have moved to the area

Where we go and who we work with Prisons Secure Units/Hospitals Home Office Probation Police Courts Dr Khan

Aims – Define Criteria Impairment of social functioning and ability to understand consequences Moderate/mild learning disabilities Behaviour which could lead to custodial involvement, including arson, sex offences, serious harm to others Indirectly, actions resulting in serious implications for others e.g. hoax callers

Aims Tool for Police Custody Sergeant (1 yr) Liaise with probation (9 months) Referral pathway Liaise with other forensic teams Court Diversion Forensic database of Appropriate Placements
