Criminal Justice - Outreach Support Service & Employability Service

The Service Provider shall aim to help Supported Persons towards positive and 'offence free'

independent living in the community. The Service Provider shall work in partnership with Aberdeen

City Health and Social Care Partnership Criminal Justice Social Work service, Aberdeen City Council,

NHS Grampian, Housing Providers, Police Scotland, Scottish Prison Service and other agencies to

support, and in exceptional circumstances monitor, individuals in the community. It is expected that

the Service Provider will participate in the MAPPA process as required.

Levels of support will vary depending on individual needs and risk levels but will initially be a minimum

of one weekly session once in the community. For those with more intensive needs the Service

Provider will provide contact during custody if appropriate and will be an integral part of the risk

management and contingency plan in preparation for release. Support is designed to enable

Supported Persons to develop skills for independent living; such as: domestic skills, budgeting,

literacy, and numeracy, accessing further education or employment and social skills.
