Branded as ‘180 ° Suffolk– turning lives around’, the scheme builds on existing partnerships such as the Prolific and Priority Offender (PPO) scheme and the Drug Interventions Programme (DIP) to provide a single identifiable premium service to jointly reduce crime and re-offending of individuals and improve public confidence in the criminal justice system.
The IOM scheme is aimed at those offenders both within the community and held in custody, which represent the highest risk of re-offending. There is a specific focus on those who receive a short custodial sentence (less than 12 months) who are not subject to statutory probation supervision.
Supported by the Home Office, Ministry of Justice, and the Department of Health, IOM brings together all the criminal justice agencies in the county. Here in Suffolk, the scheme is co-ordinated by the IOM multi-agency steering group which includes representatives from the Probation Service, Youth Offending Service, Suffolk Criminal Justice Board, Suffolk Police, HM Prison Service, HM Court Service, Suffolk Drug & Alcohol Action Team (DAAT) as well as Suffolk County Council.
The IOM Steering Group meets bi-monthly and in addition to this, local multi agency IOM case conferences take place on a monthly basis in the three main areas of Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and Lowestoft.
An important factor is the rehabilitation and recovery of those individuals referred on to the scheme. The selection process will place each offender in order of priority under a traffic light scoring system:
- Red: High risk of committing crime
- Amber: Medium risk of lots of offending
- Green: Low or little risk of lots of offending. Green status will also apply to those who are remanded in custody or sentenced to less than four years.
- Blue: Long term custody. Sentenced to over four years in custody.
The multi agency IOM case conferences will also decide when an offender should be removed from the scheme. Main reasons will include;
- The offender stops committing crime.
- The offender moves to a different area.
- Death or serious illness.
- A more prolific offender arrives in the area and the scheme is at full capacity.
- An offender is at high risk of harm and is therefore referred to another more appropriate scheme.
