Lanarkshire Community Justice Authority 6 September 2013 C H Ief Officer Chief Officer Update Agenda Item Report to: Lanarkshire Community Justice Authority Date of Meeting: 6 September 2013 Report by: C h ief Officer I Subject: Chief Officer Update 1. Purpose of Report 1.1. The purpose of the report is to:- + Update Members on local and national developments relevant to the CJA 2. Recommendation(s) 2.1. The CJA is asked to approve the following recommendation(s):- (I) that the report be noted 3. Discharged Prisoners - Welfare Changes 3.1. The Scottish Welfare Fund replaced the discretionary Social Fund from April 2013. In relation to Criminal Justice specifically there are three main ways in which offenders or ex offenders may come into contact with the fund. 0 Applying for a Community Care Grant to set up home in the community after a period in custody. Applying for a Community Care Grant for support for a temporary release. Applying for a Crisis Grant if they fall in to crisis following release. 3.2. The attached note provides more detail information about this change and Members will wish to note that the CJA has asked Partners to keep us informed about any implications resulting from the change especially in terms of affecting ex prisoners ability to resettle in the community and lead a law-abiding life. 4. Unit Costs of Delivering Criminal Justice Social Work Services 4.1. The Scottish Government intends to commission analysis of the unit costs of providing Criminal Justice Social Work Services across Scotland. The aim of the research is to improve knowledge about the costs of providing services, and how that varies across Scotland, as well as providing a basis for improved future estimates. The work is in two parts as follows; 4.2. Phase one of the work will estimate unit costs of delivering services using a “simple top down mythology”. This approach takes estimates of aggregated expenditure on delivering a particular service and divides that by the number of units of output (for example, it costs Elk to deliver 100 court reports therefore it costs €10 to deliver each report). 4.3. Phase two of the work will involve a “bottom-up approach”. Starting from a detailed understanding of the activities involved in delivering a unit of output and piecing together an estimate of what these activities costs (for example, if takes two hours of input from a particular member of staff, that element of the cost could be estimated based on that staff members hourly salary cost). This phase of the work will estimate the cost of delivering one particular service - The Community Payback Order. 4.4. The outcome of the analysis will be two reports that will be published by August 2014. These reports will be a maximum 50 pages long and will include an executive summary that meets the aims and objectives of the research. The attached document provides more detailed information about this exercise. 5. Employee Implications 5.1. The outcome of any redesign will have implications for literally 100 employees of both councils and their Partners. 6. Financial Implications 6.1. None known. 7. Other Implications 7.1. None known. 8. Equality Impact Assessment and Consultation Arrangements 8.1. No significant consultation was undertaken as part of this report. 8.2. The report does not introduce a new policy, function or strategy therefore no equality impact assessment was carried out Tony McNulty, Chief Officer Lanarkshire Comm unity J ustice Authority List of Background Papers Discharged Prisoners - Welfare Changes Unit Costs of Delivering Criminal Justice Social Work Services Contact for Further Information If you would like to inspect the background papers or want further information, please contact:- Tony McNulty, Chief Officer Ext: 4234 (Tel: 01698 454234) E-mail: [email protected] BRIEFING NOTE FOR PRISONS AND YOUNG OFFENDER INSTITUTIONS N.B. Prisoners with release dates after 1 April should apply to the Scottish Welfare Fund rather than the Social Fund. This note provides some information about the new Scottish Welfare Fund (SWF) that is being introduced from 1 April 2013, when the current discretionary Social Fund will stop. The SWF is a national scheme run by local authorities, based on guidance from Scottish Ministers. You can find an outline of the scheme on the Scottish Government's website: www.scotland.qov.uk/Topics/People/welfarereform/sociaIfund/OUTLI NEOFSCOTTIS HWELFARE FU ND Why would offenders apply to the Scottish Welfare Fund? There are three main ways in which offenders or ex-offenders may come in to contact with the fund: 0 Applying for a Community Care Grant to set up home in the community after a period in custody. Applying for a Community Care Grant for support for a temporary release. 0 Applying for a Crisis Grant if they fall in to crisis following release. How, and where, can offenders apply for assistance from the Scottish Welfare Fund? If applying for a Community Care Grant, offenders should apply to the Local Authority in which they intend to stay. This link gives the contact details for each Local Authority: http://sh45inta~opics/People/welfarereform/scottishwelfarefund/howtoap~l~tot hescottishwelfarefund 0 Application processes for Local Authorities vary. The Scottish Government will distribute generic application forms to prisons. These can be used to apply to any Scottish Local Authority - see Local Authority Contact Details below. Prisons may wish to build relationships with Local Authorities to which they commonly release. 0 There is no equivalent to the Scottish Welfare Fund in operation in England. Local Authorities are taking a variety of approaches to providing community 1 care and crisis support. In Wales, the successor to the Social Fund is called the Discretionary Assistance Fund. When can offenders apply for a Community Care Grant? 0 Offenders can apply for a Community Care Grant up to eight weeks before their release date, and decisions may be made in principle, for example if an applicant is waiting to sign a tenancy. Prisoners with release dates after 1 April should apply to the Scottish Welfare Fund rather than the Social Fund. Is there a qualifying period for a Community Care Grant? 0 Yes - the qualifying period for an offender to be considered for a Community Care Grant, is a minimum of three months served in civil custody. Checking information Local Authorities will be using secure email addresses to contact prisons to check information on applications from prisoners, for example release dates and time spent in custody. Discharge Grants, paid on release, will be disregarded when considering eligibility for an award. Background information on the Scottish Welfare Fund SWF guidance takes the previous Social Fund rules as the starting point, but has important differences and takes Scottish priorities into account. The SWF aims to take advantage of the opportunity to strengthen links to other local services. The intention is that a local provision will allow for a more joined up approach than was possible with national call centre provision. The full guidance is available at: www.Scotland .aov.uklToDics/Peor>le/weIfarereform/socialfund/ScottishWelfareFundq uid a nce The objectives of the new scheme are to: 0 provide a safety net in a disaster or emergency, when there is an immediate threat to health or safety. 0 enable independent living or continued independent living, preventing the need for institutional care. There are two types of grants in the SWF- Crisis Grants, and Community Care Grants. A Crisis Grant aims to help people, typically on benefits, who are in crisis because of a disaster or an emergency. A Community Care Grant aims to help people on benefits who may have to go into care unless they get some support to stay at home. Or, if they are leaving any form 2 of care, including a prison or young offenders institution, and need help to set-up their own home. The SWF is a discretionary, cash-limited scheme that prioritises applications based on need. It provides grants that do not have to be repaid. It does not provide loans. Local authorities have the discretion to provide support in different ways. Not all grants will be cash payments. They may provide vouchers, a fuel card, or furniture if they think that the best way to meet the need.

  • Justice Committee - Budget Process 2008-09
    JUSTICE COMMITTEE - BUDGET PROCESS 2008-09 Written Submissions SUBMISSION FROM THE ASSOCIATION OF SCOTTISH POLICE SUPERINTENDENTS INTRODUCTION The Association of Scottish Police Superintendents (ASPS) welcomes the opportunity to discuss the Scottish Government’s Draft spending plans as delivered by the Cabinet Secretary for Finance on 14th November, for the forthcoming financial year and on the progress made towards achieving the efficient government target savings. ASPS would also like to record the challenges that such a tight timescale presents. The Committee members will be aware that members of this Association are senior officers in the Scottish Police Service and it is our responsibility to speak on behalf of the service and in particular those colleagues who run divisions and departments across Scotland on a daily basis. ASPS recognise that finance cannot be without limit and the Government has to consider the entire public sector and distribute resources accordingly however ASPS note with interest the finding detailed in the Midwinter Report commissioned by the Scottish Police Federation. We are also aware that ACPOS have lead responsibility for Service finances and resources and will obviously provide more detailed observations and comments. BACKGROUND In the past year the Scottish Police Service was given a target of 1.5% Efficient Savings. In the recently published draft proposals we note that the savings required are set at 2%. Over the years the Scottish Police Service has achieved the annual savings set by Government, despite the continued need to meet changing demands and legislative requirements for more officers based on new areas of work. Management of Violent Offenders and Sex Offenders has had a substantial impact on resources, as have the increased resource requirements to address areas such as anti-terrorism, 24/7 Operational Policing, etc.

    Friday 30 October 2015 SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT Learning and Justice Graeme Pearson (South Scotland) (Scottish Labour): To ask the Scottish Government how many prisoners have been prescribed methadone in each year since 2006-07, broken down by prison. (S4W-27817) Paul Wheelhouse: The following table provides a snapshot of data relating to the numbers of prisoners prescribed with methadone in each prison in Scotland from May 2006. This data is a count of the number of prisoners recorded as receiving a methadone prescription on a single day. This information was gathered by Scottish Prison Service (SPS) and the NHS to provide an indicative figure of the number of people in prisons in receipt of methadone. This data was collected by SPS up until 2010. There is a hiatus in data collection (2011-13) following the transfer of service provision from SPS to NHS, however, this data is now being collected twice a year by National Prisoner Healthcare Network. Further work is currently underway to determine the most effective model for incorporating and delivering the requirements which will allow future detailed reporting.
