Details of all Specific national or local scheme/intervention(s) available
In Fife, supervision requirements of a Community Payback Order are overseen by a qualified social worker and managed by Fife Justice Social Work services. Interventions are guided by a case management plan developed using accredited risk assessment tools. Should a specialised service be required to address the needs identified, referrals to appropriate third sector services would be progressed.
Possible Outcomes
To work with the individual and relevant others to achieve change in the individual’s behaviour, to encourage desistance from offending behaviour; and to work with the individual to achieve improved decision making and life chances. The supervising officer also reviews progress, reports to Court as required and helps the individual to address any obstacles to the successful completion of the Community Payback Order.
Process for Assessment and/or inclusion in scheme/intervention
At court report stage, recommendations for appropriate community-based disposals are made following the assessment.
