41 SACRO HOUSING OFFENDER CRIMINAL JUSTICE SOCIAL WORK POLICE MENTAL HEALTH

42 X Forget the nonsense Responsibility “Not mentally ill”
No formal mental disorder Undeserving “Untreatable” Mental health services have nothing to offer If something goes wrong we’ll get the blame Detention in hospital

43 How we’re doing it MAPPA Health Representatives for Lothian
Attending Level 2 and Level 3 meetings Available for phone consultation Point of liaison between NHS Lothian colleagues and MAPPA colleagues

44 How we’re doing it Provide basic input to MAPPA on the NHS contacts patients are having or have had HOWEVER provide additional input in terms of consultancy on cases, e.g. interpreting previous clinic reports, advising on risk, advising on available treatments and suitability

45 How we’re doing it Provide training to NHS staff on MAPPA
MAPPA now extends to restricted patients as well as sex offenders which has impact on psychiatric colleagues

46 Sex Offender Liaison Service (SOLS)
Established in April 2007 to support MAPPA Referrals from Criminal Justice Social Work, Police and MAPPA Sex offenders with personality disorders or sexual deviation Assessments to help criminal justice agencies manage risk in community NOT route to standard mental health involvement

47 Sex Offender Liaison Service (SOLS)

Letters sent to Police and CJSW re our service Now getting increased rate of referral as word of mouth increases

61 Mr Z Murder of man – query sexual element
Served 11 years of life sentence Been in community on licence for 4 years Recently causing concerns with social work re voicing extreme anger at men he is in relationships with which mirrored index offence

62 Mr Z #2 Info at interview differed drastically from file info
He was very open about this – stated it would be stupid to be truthful while trying to get out on parole from prison Presented as hostile towards women – both in self-report and in reaction to female interviewer

63 Mr Z #3 Very controlling in interview – had his own agenda about what he wanted to convey Gave detailed gruesome recall of index offence No sign of remorse Left us no clearer as to why currently presenting with more issues to social work Continues to deny sexual element to offence

64 Mr Z #4 Index offence followed near strangulation of his wife and grievance re victim 90th Percentile on PCL-R Factor 1 Openly admits to using violence when he has a grievance Has had sexual relationship with vulnerable female recently leaving him ‘enraged’. Following this he harmed himself

65 Mr Z #5 Grave concerns about this man
Likely to have breached his licence Report back to Social Worker GP has seen him re Anxiety and Depression Scored off the scale on HADS Telephone discussion with Psychiatrist who was referred Mr Z by GP

66 Mr Z #6 Attended Risk management Case Conference (RMCC)
Gave clinical advice to GP re diagnosis Added significantly to understanding of case Risk formulation influenced decisions about potential victims and housing

67 Sex Offender Liaison Service (SOLS) What we’d like to do?
See far more referrals for assessment Offer treatment programme for high risk / high needs sex offenders (=personality disorder) Develop treatment for sexually deviant offenders Make clinical input more readily available to criminal justice social work and police Retain criminal justice / MAPPA framework See people who present before they offend BUT ALL OF THIS NEEDS RESOURCES

68 Future developments FUNDING NHS Lothian Scottish Government
LOCALLY (NHS Lothian - as part of MAPPA/community forensic developments) Increased capacity to see referrals Referrals from NHS as well as criminal justice Develop treatment Evaluate as community forensic PD pilot NATIONALLY (Forensic Network) Developing role of forensic mental health in MAPPA Teaching and training – PD, sex offending, risk Developing assessment and treatment of sex offenders
