Supporting information
The services delivered by Changing Lives can affect change across a number of the areas of need identified by criminal justice agencies; Accommodation, ETE, Finance, Benefit and Debt, Relationships, Attitudes, Thinking and Behaviour, Alcohol and Drugs, Lifestyle and Associates, and Emotional Management. The core services can be delivered across a range of sentencing options such as Rehabilitation Activity Requirements, Drug and Alcohol Treatment requirements through to Custodial Sentences and Post-release Licence supervision. The services can be tiered to provide each person with the required level of support and incorporate approaches and developments to ensure that the differential needs of the various cohorts are met, for example older people, and those experiencing a neuro-diverse condition.
