About this webinar:
This event considers two unique approaches to risk assessment and management of complex offenders in Scotland.
The Risk Management Authority in Scotland works to reduce the risk of serious harm posed by violent and sexual offending. They provide training and advice in this area as well as setting standards for risk assessment and management. In addition to this, they have a statutory role with regards to Order for Life Long Restriction (OLR) sentences. Dr.Joe Judge is a clinical psychologist with a wide range of experience in forensic and non-forensic mental health settings. He is a member of the RMA board. He will be providing an overview of risk assessment and management in the context of the RMA’s work.
The Serious Offender Liaison Service (SOLS) in NHS Lothian, provides clinical consultation, assessment and management advice to support criminal justice agencies in the management of complex and high risk violent and sexual offenders in the community. They also provide the statutory health board input to local MAPPA meetings. This unique service, does not provide treatment or case management but rather supports frontline team to implement psychologically informed management approaches. Dr Sarah Gladden is a clinical psychologist working with the SOLS team. She has worked across forensic mental health settings in Scotland and England. She will be sharing how the SOLS service supports MAPPA and colleagues in working with this complex group.
