Description

'Improving Health, Supporting Jusitce', strategy for offender health and social care, sets out a template to meet the mental health needs along the criminal justice pathway and includes both those offenders being resettled from prison and those supervised in the community.

The challenge for commissioners, planners and proviers is how to develop a range of services to meet the diverse needs and ensure access to primary, secondary and tertiary care, as well as health promotion and prevention. For practitioners, service users, and carers, it is how to influence the challenge.

This conference, building on the successes of Nacro's seven previous conferences on Mental Health and Crime, is an opportunity to contribute to, and influence the debate.

Invited speakers include:

Rt Hon Ivan Lewis MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for the Department of Health

Baroness Corston Commander

Rod Jarman, Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO)

Eric Allison, Prison Correspondent, The Guardian

Paul Jenkins, Chief Executive, Rethink

Book before Friday 16 May 2008 for reduced delegate rates.
