Possible Outcomes

Further benefits may include possible increased levels of self-esteem and positive outlook, that in turn may lead to increased opportunity of employment. Other areas of an offender’s life which can be improved via the supervision process are housing, financial situation (e.g. dealing with debt), mental and physical health, dealing with relationships, addictions/substance misuse.
Process for Assessment and/or inclusion in scheme/intervention
