Referrals to Commissioned Rehabilitative Services

Once I have completed the Basic Custody Screening Tool (BCST) assessment with my person in prison, (immediate resettlement needs and pre-release planning) I will consult with the Community Offender Manager (COM) and advise them of any identified resettlement needs. The COM will be responsible for the Commissioned Rehabilitative Services referral which must be made via the refer and monitor system, in line with sentence planning to include the CRS provision that is needed pre and post release. I will need to support this activity when required and CRS referrals cannot be made by POMs.

The summary of the Mentoring (Social Inclusion) and Accommodation CRS provision in custody and community, is available on the My Learning Platform. When referring through refer and monitor, I will need to provide the COM with the following;

• the name of prison where person will be released from, PDU area for release (or London borough), date of expected release / HDC Eligibility
• Prison Number / Reference
• Prison Visits Phone Number
