Community Payback Order Programme: Sexual Offences
Programme Name:
Moving Forward 2 Change (MF2C)
Description:
MF2C aims to reduce reoffending and support desistance through trauma informed and compassionate practice. It integrates established and emerging approaches, including the Good Lives Model, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Compassionate Mind Training, mindfulness, sex positive practice, and the Dynamic – Maturational Model of Attachment and Adaption (DMM) model. The programme promotes prosocial behaviour, strengthens social and relationship skills, enhances protective factors, and concludes with a post programme Moving Forward session informed by desistance theory. The programme is designed for individuals aged 18+ with a conviction—or significant concerns—related to sexual offending. Eligible participants may be in custody, the community, or The State Hospital and must present with average or above RM2000 and SA07 combined score and have identified treatment needs that they are willing to work on. MF2C operates as a flexible, open, rolling programme, allowing participants to join at appropriate points based on individual formulation. The programme has no fixed length; dosage is tailored to each participant’s risks, needs and agreed treatment targets. Delivery is primarily group based to maximise opportunities for social learning, with individual work available where required to support responsivity.
