- Change Development of a criminal justice "arm" within the 2 year pilot. The Criminal Justice Service 'arm' of the service would offer tiers 1 (Consultancy, Advice & Support to providers), 2 (Timely access to Crisis Support), and 3 (Evidence-based psychologically underpinned formulations & Intervention Planning) to healthcare staff within 2 MPFT prisons for a 20 month pilot in line with the overall service pilot. Additional funding is allocated for this to a value of £487,372. The effective date of this modification is 04/11/2025, Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The CJS 'arm' of the service builds upon the existing Midlands-wide LDA community forensic service and aims to embed LDA- specific, trauma-informed practice across settings. The proposed service will provide virtual targeted in-reach to two named prisons in the region and offer the recommended interventions above in line with some areas of the tiered model for the WM LDA CFS. Key Service Goals • Support safe, planned transitions from custody to community or secure care as needed • Improve staff confidence and competence in managing LDA individuals • Embed psychologically informed, trauma-aware practice across prison settings • Strengthen multi-agency collaboration and continuity of care
