UKDWF CONFERENCE York 13-14 October 2009 Findings of the DIP Review Peter Grime Head of Operations, Drug Interventions Programme, Home Office
The ground I intend to cover • Impact of DIP on crime and re-offending. • Findings from review of the DIP Delivery Model.

DIP impact (c) National Indicator 38 • assesses the rate of drug related offending, counting the number of offences (proven by conviction at court) committed by individuals identified as Class A drug users in the course of their contact with the CJS • 19 local authorities have included NI38 within their Local Area Agreements • Not Just a local and national outcome target – cohort analysis can be used for local problem solving
DIP impact (c) National Indicator 38 performance – one area example • Cohort of 234 • Actual offences – 577 • Predicted offences – 426.3 Just 18 individuals account for the difference between actual and predicted
DIP review findings: the good news • The Programme has already achieved a huge amount and we have a lot to be proud about. The Review found: • DIP has pioneered a ground-breaking offender-centred hub • CJS sanctions to grip offenders and ensure they face tough choices are comprehensive • DIP has driven significant improvement in system capability and services • And it makes a difference: “ (DIP) saved my life”
DIP review findings: some of the challenges • The quality of case management is important to offenders and needs to be given more emphasis in the delivery of DIP • The intensity of case management is variable between areas • More emphasis is needed on developing life skills to help prevent relapse into drug misuse and offending • Greater clarity needed on Roles and responsibilities of partners
DIP review findings: some (more) of the challenges • Performance management not focused on reducing crime and offending • Allocation of DIP funding needs to be overhauled • DIP’s purpose is clear to DIP leads, but understanding and ownership is more variable beyond them. • Government is providing effective leadership of DIP… • …but we all could do more to support local areas
The case forIOM DIP review : where are we now? Taking forward the findings in six workstreams: • DIP Delivery Model • Funding and Value for Money • Commissioning and Practice Guidance • Performance Management • National and Regional Leadership and Support • Communications - maximise positive outcomes for the community?
DIP Review – Delivery Model • Framework of the Model • Identification • who takes priority? • identification by enforcement • identification by pro-active engagement • Assessment • what are the needs? • type – initial, follow-up, relevant or as a result of pro-active engagement or self referral • Case management • how to achieve and deliver outcomes
DIP Review: Delivery Model • What’s difference: • better identification in the custody suite • emphasis on challenging offending behaviour • more effective case management • each client will have a CJIT case manager • clear expectations of the client • ensure client attends appointment and assertive outreach for those who don’t • clear pathways for clients who disengage despite assertive outreach
DIP Review – Funding review and VFM • Developing a new funding model based on zero based costs: • fixed costs • variable costs • allowances • Purpose of this will be to remove the differences in costs across the difference areas
