The purpose of the Care Pathway and Model is to ensure that people requiring specialist support in the community receive a quality service that is safe, consistent, accessible, and responsive to their mental health, psychological, behavioural, and social care needs.

A bespoke training programme in Forensic Care, designed to accompany the Pathway and Model, will support the development of the workforce, enhance understanding and build confidence to ensure recovery is safe, sustained and ultimately improve outcomes.

Health Minister Mike Nesbitt says, “The launch of this new Care Pathway and Model allows for better monitoring and streamlining of this specialist support in the community, particularly where there are a range of professionals and agencies involved in the management and care of its users.

“Along with the new bespoke training, it ensures a quality service that is safe, consistent, accessible and responsive to each individual’s mental health, psychological, behavioural and social care needs.

“I want to congratulate the Forensic Managed Care Network for their work to develop these initiatives and their commitment and dedication to drive service improvements.”

Justice Minister Naomi Long says, “I welcome the launch of this new Care Pathway and Model and the bespoke training programme which has been developed to reflect the diverse needs of our population.

“This is an excellent example of cross-departmental and cross-sectoral working to deliver better outcomes for the people using this service and for wider society.

“The significant and impressive involvement and collaboration of the workforce from both Health and Justice is building effective solutions to improve the accessibility, acceptability and effectiveness of forensic care services.”
