Statement of Forecast Service Performance - Output Class 7: Rehabilitative Programmes and Reintegrative Services

This output class provides:

  • responsivity programmes to improve offenders' motivation to address the causes of their criminal offending. These programmes are designed to increase an offender's responsivity to undertake a specifi c programme that seeks to address an identified criminogenic need
  • rehabilitative programmes to address the causes of criminal offending. There is a suite of nationally defined rehabilitation programmes. Assessment tools determine programme eligibility according to an offender’s criminogenic needs, responsivity and risk of re-offending
  • reintegrative services to prepare for an offender's release into the community, including support for families/wh?nau. Emphasis is placed on the targeted provision of reintegrative services to reinforce and sustain behavioural changes by building up basic skills (for example, budgeting and relationship management) that support reintegration into the community. These services include projects for regional reintegration coordinators and supported accommodation
  • specialist psychological services, including counselling of offenders, professional training and supervision in the use of assessment tools, to monitor and support programme delivery.
