Emotional Well-Being Neurodiversity Services – Expression of Interest to partner with Ingeus

Emotional Well-Being The Opportunity

The Ministry of Justice estimates that approximately 15-20% of the adult population has some form of neuro-divergence. This suggests a need for better engagement with People on Probation who identify as neurodivergent and to bolster Probation understanding and confidence, at both a front-line and more strategic level, of engaging with this group of individuals.

Programme Aims

Provide services which support People on Probation to improve their coping skills and resilience, to engage with mental health services and comply with treatment and to interact confidently with others

Service Delivery

Ingeus is looking for partners to provide support across neurodiverse conditions:

• Learning difficulties and disabilities (LDDs) which generally include: learning disability, dyslexia, dyscalculia, and developmental coordination disorder (DCD, also known as dyspraxia); and other common conditions, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, developmental language disorder (DLD), tic disorders and cognitive impairments due to acquired brain injury (ABI)

There are three key elements to the service:

1. Activities to be delivered to Probation Practitioners or, otherwise, staff delivering probation services Providing training to service users to enable them to manage their own finances
2. Activities delivered to Probation Leaders in the region or Probation Delivery Unit(s)
3. Activities delivered to People on Probation (WM includes an IOM Main Focus)

Positive Outcomes

• To develop improved self-efficacy, resilience, and an ability to recognise and manage triggers to worsening well-being

We are currently looking for partners in the following areas:
