In 2016, the Office of the South Wales Police and Crime Commissioner and His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service in Wales, co-commissioned a substance misuse offender intervention service. The Service was awarded to the ‘Dyfodol De Cymru’ consortium – being delivered by G4S Community, Kaleidoscope and Adferiad, and was available across South Wales, in the Police Custody Suites, Courts, Community Bases and the public prisons including HMP Swansea, Cardiff, Usk and Prescoed.
The service was tendered to support a person through the criminal justice system, from Police Custody, to Court, to Prison and upon release into the Community
The aim of the service was to assess, engage and divert individuals out of crime and into appropriate levels of interventions, supporting the reduction of drug and alcohol related harm, and reducing levels of offending.
