Turnaround is a service for men in the justice system that had a history of prolific low tariff offending. Prior to admission to the residential programme, individuals undertake a programme of preparatory work facilitated by the Throughcare team. Individuals are assessed for immediate risk and immediate need. A comprehensive assessment builds on the issues and needs identified through the referral process and helps staff understand the full nature of challenges affecting an individual’s offending behaviour and the support required. The residential programme is very structured with individuals expected to engage in all aspects of daily activities, groups and one to one sessions. Following the residential programme, the Throughcare team offer additional support within the community for a period of up to 12 weeks to facilitate links with community based support.
