Further funding has been made available for this tender through Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service Yorkshire and the Humber to enhance services specifically for those on a Probation caseload, those on a Rehabilitation Activity Requirement (RAR) either Drug and/or Alcohol, or those on licence or post sentence supervision. These additional services shall be identified as “Dependency and Recovery Services” for the purpose of the service specification. The Service shall provide the Dependency and Recovery Services to respond to each Service user's complexity of need as identified by the Responsible Officer (Probation Offender Manager) in the referral and in a way which reflects any risk of serious harm issues included within the referral. The information contained within the referral should be reviewed by both the Service and the Responsible Officer throughout the duration of each Service user's Intervention. • Service User achieves abstinence or controlled/ non-dependent or non-problematic substance misuse. • Service User increases their understanding of addictive behaviours and triggers and option to reduce dependency. • Service User improves their physical health and mental resilience. • Service User enhances their skills to manage risky situations which may pose a trigger or relapse. • Service User enhances their belief in ability to manage/ desist from addiction(s). • Service User increases understanding of addictive behaviours and triggers and options to reduce dependency. • Service User improves physical health and mental resilience. • Service User establishes Dependency Pathways to manage a range of addictive behaviours, including supporting access into other treatment providers and detox programmes. • Service User has continuity of care from prison into the community where there is no other available resource or commissioned service. • Service User has a minimised risk of overdose following release from prison. The individualised combination of outcomes specific to each Service User shall become the agreed outcomes for each service user which shall be set out in the “Personal Wellbeing Plan”. Where applicable, the Service must support a Service user's transition from Young Offenders Institute ("YOI") or an adult male prison back into the community and focus on the place where they will reside (not the prison they are released from). Services shall be delivered in a way which reflects the differing complexity levels of service users which occur within the probation caseload:- • Low complexity - Service user who is highly motivated and have had sustained period of abstinence. Service user has successfully engaged in a period of treatment but requires support to sustain recovery. • Medium complexity - Services user who has had lapses/crises that may lead to relapse and/or is at a transition point, e.g. from prison into community. Service user has a moderate level of motivation but requires a high level of support. • High complexity – Service user who is sentenced to Community Sentence where there is a dual diagnosis and substance misuse treatment. Service user does not meet the threshold for secondary provision and/or are deemed unsuitable following assessment for treatment as part of a Community Sentence Treatment Requirement. However, Service user has identifiable substance misuse, alcohol misuse, prescription, gambling or other dependencies linked to re-offending. Service user has a history of poor engagement with treatment services and requires a high level of motivation and support to engage with treatment. Funding is time limited to 18 months initially with a potential to be extended, dependent on external funding sources. The amounts should be added onto the maximum budget: 01 October 2022 – 31 March 2023 - £52,178.50 01 April 2023 – 31 March 2024 - £154,253
