Interventions is about providing rehabilitative services that are proven to have an impact on those needs associated with offending. It is about direct face to face contact though a variety of different approaches that are responsive to the diverse needs of offenders while balancing the protection of the public. All of our interventions are delivered by trained, qualified staff. The following is a brief outline of some of the most important Interventions delivered by Humberside Probation Trust.
Sex Offenders
We deliver a number of different programmes that work with Sex offender. The programmes aim to protect the public by working with convicted offenders to change their behaviour.
Drink Impaired Drivers
This programme targets men and women who have been convicted of a drink driving offender. It aims to educate them about the effects of alcohol on themselves and others, and in doing so helping them to positively change their drinking habits, particularly whilst driving.
Integrated Domestic abuse Programme (IDAP)
This programme has been developed for men who have been convicted of domestic abuse related offences. The programme aims to change their behaviour. The approach also involves probation staff providing support and advice for victims, and working closely with agencies involved in the protection of victims of domestic abuse.
Think First
This programme is for offenders who need to develop problem solving skills. They consider the consequences of their crime, the impact on others and different ways of dealing with problems.
Addressing Substance Related Offending (ASRO)
The aim of this programme is to prevent re-offending by dependent drug an misusers who offend regularly because of their drug misuse. Drug misusers are required to take part in a demanding and closely supervised programme of treatment.
Skills for Life
This is not a programme as such, but it involves Humberside Probation Trust providing service providing facilities for offenders to achieve a basic level of skill, in areas such as reading, writing and Maths. Having a basic standard and for some a qualification demonstrably improves an offenders chances of gaining full-time employment, which means they are less likely to re-offend.
Accommodation
Homelessness is very common amongst offenders, and there is a clear link between the lack of suitable accommodation and re-offending. Humberside Probation Trust manages two Approved Premises (Hostels) which accommodates a number of men in a closely monitored, supervised and structured environment. The Trust also works with the Statutory and voluntary Sector to provide accommodation for offenders leaving custody or serving a sentence in the community.
