Three key areas for interventions suiteProbation Officer with Service User

Structured Interventions in the three key areas of Attitudes, Thinking and Behaviour, Emotional Management and Domestic Abuse will form part of a suite of interventions available to the Probation Practitioner, alongside Accredited Programmes and Toolkits.

CRC interventions review

Current Structured Interventions delivered by CRCs are being reviewed by the National Effective Interventions Panel (EIP) for approval for delivery in the Unified Model. The EIP has so far considered over 40 different Structured Interventions and a review is now taking place of those which have been identified for approval/conditional approval.

Next steps

Further work is now required to develop the content and materials and remove duplication between interventions with a similar offer. This will ensure that Structured Interventions provide an evidence-informed and effective offer to support service users which can be evaluated.

Structured Interventions currently delivered by CRCs in these three areas will continue to be delivered in from day one of the new unified organisation.

The refined suite of Approved Structured Interventions will be available during 2021/22 and Regional Probation Directors will choose at least one Structured Intervention in each category for delivery as part of the suite of Interventions in their region. Roll out and roll down activity will be complete by March 2022.

Practice guidance, operating manuals, training and support will be provided to colleagues to enable successful delivery of our Structured Interventions model.
