In January, a new suite of Structured Interventions (SI) was introduced, some of which I may be familiar with. There will be twelve new SIs falling into three categories, Domestic Abuse (DA), Attitudes, Thinking and Behaviour (ATB) and Emotional Management (EM).  The new SIs are shorter and can be used as part of recovery for People on Probation (PoP) that are either not suitable for Accredited Programmes (AcP), or risk not securing a place on their AcP prior to the cessation of their licence or order.

My region will have selected the SIs we wish to deliver, and my Programme Manager will share the delivery and implementation plans with me.

My Programme manager will communicate with me how and for which SIs I will be trained. Delivering these shorter interventions, provides greater and more accessible treatment opportunities for PoPs, who will also benefit from my broader skill set of programme delivery. Sessions will be scheduled in amongst the other programmes and the usual selection process to deliver programmes applies.

Delivering SIs and AcPs will allow me to develop skills in the new delivery formats and well as variety in my work.
