- Lot 1 Forensic Psychology Risk Assessments

Public sector prison establishments in England and Wales require the services of suitably qualified and experienced Forensic Psychologists to provide risk assessment services for prisoners/offenders. Services will be required on both a regular and ad-hoc basis to support work usually undertaken by Prison Service staff

Psychology services are provided throughout HMPPS in both custody and community. High priority work is providing Forensic Psychological assessments & reports for the purposes of risk management.

- Lot 2 Intervention Programmes

An important element of Psychology services is the contribution to rehabilitation of those in our care is the provision of evidence led interventions to address offending behaviour. Across the prison estate a number of group and individual interventions are delivered and overseen by Registered Psychologists. These are accredited by the CSAAP (Correctional Services Advice & Accreditation Panel) and therefore are bound by carefully constructed accreditation standards.

In addition, on occasion there is a requirement to deliver a bespoke individual psychological intervention to some of the most complex individuals within our custody.

- Lot 3 Supervision Services

Psychology service group in HMPPS is committed to developing our workforce so that the majority of the staff are Registered Psychologists (Forensic) with a number of Forensic Psychologist in Training posts in every region to ensure succession planning is a fluent process. At present those on a qualification route are enrolled on either the Cardiff Post Graduate Diploma in Practitioner Forensic Psychology or the BPS Qualification in Forensic Psychology (Stage 2). Supervision is a mandatory requirement for those in training and best practice for all Registered Psychologists.

The demand for supervision services is variable depending on a number of factors. Demand may outstrip the capacity of directly employed Registered Psychologists and therefore this contract aims to support the workforce development and enable staff in training to progress at an appropriate speed.
