IA2081 Personalised Care and Support in Prisons (and Approved Premises)

The Personalised Care and Support in Prisons (and Approved Premises) is provided to Care Act eligible individuals in Prisons who require Care and Support to meet their eligible needs. The Service will enable Service Users to achieve their identified outcomes in order to improve their independence and achieve and maintain their desired outcomes in relation to their physical, emotional, social and mental wellbeing.Staffordshire County Council are seeking to recommission the current Personalised Care and Support in Prisons (and in approved Premises) in the County of Staffordshire which is due to expire on 31.3.2021.

The Care Act became law in June 2014. Section 76 of the Act sets out the responsibilities for the provision of care and support for adult prisoners and people residing in approved premises (which include bail accommodation).

Where it appears that adults in prison or approved premises have needs for care and support, they should have their needs assessed by the local authority and where they meet eligibility criteria; have services provided by the local authority. The local authority referral processes for the provision of care and support for adult prisoners and people residing in approved premises have been in place since 2015.

There are seven Prisons and two Approved Premises in Staffordshire for which the Council will have the responsibility to provide Care and Support.
