Provide support and guidance to Areas in order to maintain the quality and standards of Accredited Programmes

Accredited Programmes are structured learning programmes devised to address offending behaviour. They are backed by research findings and normally based on cognitive/behavioural approaches. Most commonly they are delivered to groups of offenders. Consistency and integrity of programme delivery is an essential requirement. As such the training of programme facilitators/tutors is an important consideration.  (Details of accredited programmes delivered to offenders in the South West are available here).

Staff are also afforded training in other work areas, for example; motivational interviewing, managing the risk of harm presented by offenders and pro-social modelling.
