Emotional Well-being

Wiltshire Probation has a responsibility to ensure the mental and physical health of offenders. This is achieved by supporting offenders to gain access to medical and psychiatric services, by providing advocacy and advice as well as signposting individuals to specialist organizations.

We aim to help offenders deal with health issues by:

• ensuring offenders have access to appropriate health services in custody and the community
• ensuring suspects and persons detained by the police under mental health provisions are able to access appropriate health & social care professionals at the appropriate time and in the appropriate place
• diverting offenders with serious mental healthcare needs to appropriate health services
• improving health service links to other services working with offenders.
