Overview

The Dyfodol Offender Interventions Service is an integrated partnership provision for South Wales and for the public sector prisons of HMP Cardiff, HMP Swansea, HMP Usk/Prescoed and including HMP Parc. The aim of the service is to address the causes of drug and/or alcohol related offending and risk of harm to individuals, families, peers and their communities through assessment, engagement and diverting individual offenders out of crime and into appropriate levels of interventions, support the reduction of drug and alcohol related misuse and reduce levels of offending, demonstrating evidence based best practice in all the Services.

The Service will include developing and sustaining close working relationships with a number of organisations to align to and support the work of the three Area Planning Boards (Western Bay, Cardiff the Vale and Cwm Taf Morgannwg). It will also provide support for adult offenders and prisoners who have a drug and/or alcohol dependency who reside within the seven unitary local authority areas of South Wales (Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Bridgend, Cardiff, Vale of Glamorgan, Rhondda Cynon Taf and Merthyr Tydfil).
